Blood Dragon Series

Sarah Rennelle is a teacher who longs for nothing more than summer to return and her crazy roommate to find some sanity. Unfortunately, one wrong step into an alley and she becomes an eye-witness to a terrible crime. The episode leads her to a chance meeting with a handsome man who has his own terrible secret. Even with his mysterious demeanor she finds herself drawn to him, and more than for his good looks. Adam Grayson is a creature like no other. He's neither vampire nor dragon, but a strange combination of the two. He wants only to survive in his dark world, but a young woman interferes with his single-minded focus. She brings with her a fresh face among old acquaintances, and with her comes a stirring hunger which he has forbidden himself to satisfy. He knows he must keep her out of his world, but a part of him wants her to stay by his side. His two halves fight over his decision, and her, as a deadly danger draws nearer to both of them.

Inside the shadow of the paranormal world, Sarah Rennelle tries to manage her life as much as she can. Between the hectic days of school and the long nights with her new friends, she finds herself strained to the point of breaking. Then there's the trouble with Adam and the way he keeps looking at her. The intensity in his eyes leaves her hot and flustered, and wondering if he won't try to sneak a midnight snack with her. Adam can hardly control himself. The scent of Sarah's blood drives a newfound instinct to feed, a hunger more powerful than he's ever felt before. He has to force himself to remain focused on the mysteries surrounding the Saints and their purpose in destroying vampires. Under all this pressure comes a new and ancient foe that threatens to infect the entire city with its terrible curse. Sarah, Adam and their group must join a new ally if they hope to stop the spread of evil, but they're not the only ones on the hunt. The Saints, too, want to capture their foe, and they won't abide by the old saying of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.'

The shadow world of the paranormal goes looking for Sarah Rennelle as she finds herself caught up in a cat-and-mouse game with dragons, vampires, and an annoying demigod. Normalcy is invaded by Avery, one of her former students with a penchant for trouble.  This time, however, he's gotten himself in a little too deep and needs her help, or rather, he needs Adam's help.  Blackmail comes into play and Sarah is forced to drag Adam and the others into the mess as they find themselves facing off against two new enemies. They want Avery, but a series of mistakes leads them to show interest in Sarah.  It's an unhealthy interest in her that leads her away from her companions, and leads Adam into desperation as he tries to find her.  All the while Sarah has a feeling something isn't quite right between Adam and her.  Like so many people around her there's something he's not telling her, and she aims to find out what it is even if it kills her.

Sarah and her paranormal friends find themselves on the hunt for another piece of the ancient relic.  Their search leads them to a shop of the supernatural where they're met with a surprise:  an old enemy has accidentally come into possession of the next piece of the relic. A challenge is sent to them from the old foe and they're forced to step into what they know is a trap.  However, past enemies return and chaos ensues.  When the dust settles Sarah is left holding a powerful bag of trouble where even knowing the rules leads her closer to a terrible fate. Now they must find a way to retrieve the piece and save Sarah before her fate is sealed by the relic.  Desperate times call for desperate measures, even if that means making an uneasy truce with some of the Saints.

Ruthven and Adam begin their investigation into the missing relic, an object stolen from the leader of the Saints and hidden away by the destroyed vampire, Simon.  Their search leads them, along with the persistent Sarah, to an old park and its disused water system.  There they find a locked door, and behind it a deep voice that warns them to leave. They heed the warning only to give themselves time for a plan of attack, but their visit doesn't leave them unscathed.  A mark has been left, a familiar mark to the vampires and one that leaves them with more questions than answers. Little do they know that more trouble awaits as their foes are also on the same trail.  The leader of the Saints has sent Gerty and her Saint, Amand, after the relic with orders to destroy anyone who interferes.  Paths cross and powers collide, but the door and its body-less voice have other plans for all of them.

All roads and adventures have led Sarah and her paranormal friends to this point. They must make their first and final confrontation against Michael, the champion of a deep darkness that threatens to consume the entire world in its evil embrace. Their victory depends on them finding the last of the pieces of the relic, but their best plans go awry when they instead lose one. The betrayal cuts deep into their unity and leaves them with a traitor in their midst that they're unwilling to cast aside. They must now balance their shaky chance at victory with their desire to protect each other from themselves and the outside influences of the evil undead. All the while Sarah is slipping closer and closer to becoming a full vampire. Each night brings her nearer her inevitable destiny, but sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. For Sarah, she's determined to make sure that the journey will be victory for her friends, even if it means sacrificing herself to do it.
