"Riviting Tale!"

Damali Richards is the star of Warriors of Light Records. She is also a vampire huntress. Seven Guardians, who have special powers, stand by Damali and protect her if the need arises. They're also part of her band.

Fallon Nuit is a Master Vampire that uses his recording label as a front for his empire of drug dealing gangsters and his controls of most of the world's economy. Against the Vampire Council, Nuit has created rogue hybrid- vampires. The Council wants to eliminate Nuit as much as the Guardian team does.

Carlos Rivera is a good-looking and smooth dealer that is on the wrong side of the law. Damali and Carlos were close friends once. Damali loved him, but she chose not to associate with Carlos because of his poor choices in life, but when unusual murders surround Carlos, she goes to see him. Old feelings resurface and she tries to warn him of the evil that is coming, but Carlos doesn't believe in such things as demons, but all that is about to change. He makes a deal with Nuit that alters his life forever.

Damali finds out that on her 21st birthday she will gain her full powers making her superhuman. This is all great, but she also will go through the ripening, which means every male vampire will literally go nuts around her. They will kill to have her. This is not a good thing when she's out to eliminate a Master Vampire. It also complicated matters that she's in love with Carlos, who may or may not be lost to the dark side. The Guardians have every right not to trust Carlos, but he loves Damali and vows to keep her safe, even if it is at the cost of his own soul.

Ms. Banks has written a tale where she has interwoven myth, religion, voodoo, and historical facts into this paranormal masterpiece. This is an action-packed story where the atmosphere is dark and gritty. It's about good versus evil, heaven and hell and the path one chooses to take. It's a riveting tale that shouldn't be missed.

SUMMARY

The Dark Legends Begin

All Damali Richards ever wanted to do was create music and bring it to the people. Now she is a Spoken Word artist and the top act for Warriors of Light Records. But come nightfall, she hunts vampires and demons--predators that people tend to dismiss as myth or fantasy. But Damali and her Guardian team cannot afford such delusions, especially now, when a group of rogue vampires have been killing the artists of Warriors of Light and their rival, Blood Music. Strange attacks have also erupted within the club drug-trafficking network and drawn the attention of the police. These killings are a bit out of the ordinary, even for vampires. No neat puncture marks in the neck to show where the life's blood has been sucked from the body. These bodies have been mutilated beyond recognition, indicating a blood lust and thirst for destruction that surpasses any Damali has encountered before. Damali soon discovers that behind these brutal murders is the most powerful vampire she has ever met, and this seductive beast is coming for her next. But his unholy intentions have also drawn the focus of other hellish dark forces. Soon Damali finds herself being pulled deeper into the vast and horrifying vampire world.
