Fading Lights Trilogy
Not even a demon can hide from the apocalypse.
All Diajik wants is peace in a world as dead and blackened as his soul. So what if endless darkness threatens to devour his world? That is none of his concern. Famous as the world's most beautiful example of elven-kind, few know that is his truly a millennium-old demon who feeds on emotions. He rules as Lord of the Kwaihir, the most powerful man in a world where all men are slaves. Entire Houses are built and destroyed by his wealth and power. Whoever owns him owns the world.
When the darkness takes everything that he has worked for, Diajik’s plans for the future are shattered. But the darkness should have known better than to cross a demon. Now all he has left are the nightmares of young men who possess the same forbidden world-magic as he does. Only they have the power to save his dying world. They are in danger, and he has the power to save them.
Will the promise of vengeance give him the strength to avert the death of his world?

Bram thought he had left his dark past and the apocalypse behind him for this new world of wealth and beauty that dazzles him.

The young half-Elf known as Ladykiller leads dual lives.
As Ladykiller: he is a renowned assassin for The Shadowed Divide, the world’s elite assassin guild. Handsome and gifted with the mysterious magic of the Night Creatures, he is a blood-drinking charmer. Seductive and deadly, he earned the title Ladykiller, with his irresistible nature toward noblewomen and easily killing them for contract.
As Onyx: he is the devout protector of the only person in the world that matters to him, his younger brother Ruel. Ruel daydreams of being a knight and pursuing justice, quite the opposite of what the Divide looks for in an assassin. Onyx does his best to keep his brother close while not letting the dregs of their criminal environment destroy the good in Ruel.
With the Divide under attack, the brothers scatter. They discover that life outside the Divide’s protection is wrought with danger as well. Will Onyx choose the life he enjoys as Ladykiller, or save his brother from a predator from the past?

Book 3
The world knows him only as Niyx.
Raised among vampires, ghouls, zombies, and the rest of the undead horde, Niyx earned their respect and the title of Lord of the Dead. For seventeen years he has ruled his reclusive Night Creatures in the dark cursed forests outside of the Elven city of Aderaan.
Centuries ago a hesitant pact was made between the two people; the forest belongs to the Night Creatures and they will live in harmony as long as they Elves stay out.
There are two problems with Elves. They are near immortal and they do not forget. Though the great war between Elves and Night Creatures is centuries in the past the Elves have never forgotten their defeat. They want to reclaim their forest. To them, as long as the Night Creatures exist, they are a threat. The Templar Order of Aderaan has created a zealous new sect of Night Creature Hunters that exist solely to hunt their sworn enemies.
They have never met a Night Creature like Niyx. He is a fearsome monstrous killing machine with the power to control the undead and winter’s magic. When they cross him by destroying his forest home and scattering his people they awaken his wrath. With the help of his twin, Onyx, will he have his vengeance and be able to find a safe place for his fallen people to make a home?
