'There was a stain on the floor that used to be a vampire, and Aaron Evans was starting to feel like he really wasn't being paid enough.'*****Aaron is only in Supernatural Investigations for the pay. It's stressful and dangerous, and he's certain it's aging him beyond his years. When the remains of a high-ranking vamp from London's most powerful underground gang show up on his turf, even the excellent pay seems like poor recompense for trying to prevent all-out war in his city.All he has to work with are his wits, some stolen evidence, and an enigmatic vampire investigator who appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Nikolai Meier is surly, uncooperative, but frustratingly competent, so Aaron has no choice but to make it work. But Nikolai has secrets, and those secrets may prove just as deadly as failure.***#ONC2024 Entry for Prompt 56: 'In a world where humans and magical creatures coexist, a detective must solve a murder case that threatens to plunge the two communities into war.'Cover Artwork is my own.…

Jordan Haverford has three names and a target on his head. Suffering from a dead Angel's torture, split between crime and magic, and faced with his worst job yet, the last thing he needs is a blood debt.-The light season has arrived in Nictaven, and with it the city of Shadow's Reach is rebuilding after the ravages of the past season. But the threat of war hangs heavy over the new peace as the High Lord Harkenn recovers from an assassination attempt, and it doesn't look as though the Angels are finished. Despite the tense political atmosphere, Jordan's time with the assassins' guild has only increased, and creeping ever closer is the job its leader has forced on him, the one thing he vowed he'd never do - murder.Add to that the threat of retribution for the Angel he helped kill - and who left him with scars he's not sure he will ever recover from - and the fact that he can't seem to get along with his sister Grace anymore no matter how hard he tries, the light season has not brought him the salvation he had hoped.It's about to get a whole lot worse.ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © S E Harrison/giveitameaning 2022Cover Photo by Duncan Sanchez on Unsplash…

Jordan Haverford is stuck between hunting demons, committing crime, and trying not to die from either. All he wants is to go home, but his chances look bleaker than ever. *****Balancing his education in magic and demon-hunting with an apprenticeship to the assassin Arlen Blackheart is hard enough. Keeping his sister safe and avoiding assassination by Arlen's fanatic ex-student at the same time is pushing Jordan to breaking point. As he is drawn deeper into the life of an Unspoken and the knife-edge politics of the assassins' guild, shedding his old self - and his aspirations of escape - might be the only way to stay sane.Darker things are stirring at Nictaven's borders - the Whispering Wall is showing signs of strain, and sickness haunts the outer settlements, creeping closer to Shadow's Reach with each passing day. Within the city, the dead grow restless.Wonderful cover by Acacia Heather - Caysaaaa on Wattpad!Book Two of the Whispering Wall series ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © giveitameaning/S E Harrison 2020 (this story is currently only authorised to be on Wattpad.com under this account - if you are reading it elsewhere it is an illegal copy or mirror site where you may be at risk of malware)…

Fear the dark. Bar the doors. Don't breathe a word. Wait for the Hooded Men to save you.The people of Nictaven live in fear of the night; governed by magic no one save a few can control, in a land plagued by demons and cannibal tribes, and isolated from all other worlds for centuries, they're right to. Only the Unspoken, a secretive guild of warriors linked with the land and its magic, provide any safety when darkness falls. For centuries, it has stayed like this.But in an abandoned crypt worlds away, Jordan Haverford is about to change that.It wasn't quite the holiday he had been hoping for.Plunged into a world where who you are and what you believe can kill you, a world of demons and knives in the dark and wars fought from behind the doors of the rich, Jordan's gentle Oxford upbringing isn't quite sufficient preparation. Instantly a pawn in a deadly game, separated from his sister and watched from the shadows by an assassin with a vendetta, he finds himself in the company of an Unspoken who has an uncanny knack for finding the Gifted - and Jordan can't seem to get rid of him.ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © SEHarrison/Elinor Harrison*This book has previously been partly stolen and published on Amazon without my permission.
