About the Series

The series follows the path of Sulien, from coming into power as a Vampire king through his war with his brother, Sandulf through his relationship with the Fae, particularly Uriel, Lucifer, and Michael. His story is one of obsession and greed as he pursues the Wolf-Kin/Vampire hybrid Selene and later her granddaughter Citala. Sulien is the personality that links all five books together, but he is not the hero of the story, he is overshadowed by his brother Sandulf and love interest Selene in Wolf Song, and Selene's daughter Rieka, and the First-Born Fae Uriel in Blood of the Wolf.

The last three novels, Wolves of War, Reaper of the Wolves,The Raven Wolf, follow the complex relationship between Citala, Sulien, and Andras. The series begins on Arania, a world where its people have chosen to take the path of nature and magic rather than technology. The second book finds the Aranian-born, Sulien, Sandulf, Selene, and the Fae man Uriel on Earth in the modern world, where they learn, not only of the connection of Arania to Earth but how souls can be reborn or remade, and have the ability to ascend and remember past lives. The existence of Purgatory, The Land of the Dead (equating to most people's ideas of heaven), and Hell are explained. Purgatory and Hell are described in detail, but The Land of the Dead is left up to the reader's imagination. The last three books in the series focus upon Andras, a genetically-modified young man with the soul of a god, Citala, daughter of Rieka and Uriel and Sulien. A deadly game begins to be played between the two, as Citala finds herself caught between the two men, and she becomes the prize they are fighting for.

Wolves of War deals with the fallout of, the events that happen in the Blood of the Wolf. The story begins on Earth, and ends with a war on Arania. Reaper of the Wolves continues the story of Uriel, Michael, Rieka, Andras, Sulien, Namid, Citala, and her brother Niyol, as they search for and find Eden, then the third world, Empyrea.

The final book of the series, The Raven Wolf, continues the war between the Vampires and the Fae, beginning with an uneasy truce, and ending with a war on Empyrea. For Andras, it is a tale of self-discovery, and coming into his own, and for Sulien, it is a tale of greed and revenge, then self-reflection and redemption. There are overarching themes of love and hate, obsession, redemption, forgiveness, and revenge. The books deal with many adult issues such as parental abuse and neglect, harmful traditions, rape, sexual abuse, murder, sex addiction, drug and alcohol addiction, torture, gene modification, cloning, slavery, sexual identity, and abduction, and contains homosexual and heterosexual encounters. The books bear a rating of 18 plus, but I expect parents to use their own judgment on whether their teenager should read them, as they deal with many adult issues.
