CHANGELING: PRELUDE TO THE CHOSEN CHRONICLES

CHANGELING: PRELUDE TO THE CHOSEN CHRONICLES
Abandoned at birth and left to die, alone in the forest, the Angel is
found by the local healer. In loving secrecy he is raised unnamed and
unknown lest his strange appearance bring down the wrath of the local
villagers.

He grows up, cared for by Auntie until her fearful predictions come true.
Discovered in his secret grove, his life is transformed, evoking demons
that demand more than he can give.

Unable to save the lives of those he loves he flees to live alone, away
from those who would do him harm.

It is alone, exiled by humanity that he comes across the one who would
change his life forever, to become – The Angel of Death

ANGEL OF DEATH: BOOK ONE OF THE CHOSEN CHRONICLES

Winner of the Siren Books Award for Best Horror 2010 and the Siren Books
Award for Best Overall 2010.

The Vampires of London are being murdered and only the Angel of Death can
save them.

The Angel of Death has traversed the earth for over a thousand years,
reaping souls, both foe and friend. His only traveling partner through the
ages is his beloved mentor, Father Paul Notus.

When Father Notus is captured and threatened with a gruesome death by the
Mistress of London and her Vampires, the Angel is forced into a dark world
of murder and deception to discover who is killing the Vampires of
Britain.

Coerced into a partnership with the Noble Fernando de Sagres, a Vampire of
sadistic tastes, and joined by the beautiful and mortal Jeanie Stuart, the
Angel seeks to uncover who is behind the genocide.

Plagued by demons from his past and his increasing affections for Jeanie,
the Angel walks a fine line between his heart and his fears. He discovers
the culprits but at a high cost – the irrevocable discovery of what he
truly is and the Destruction of one he loves.

SHADOW OF DEATH: BOOK TWO OF THE CHOSEN CHRONICLES

"A dark, compelling thriller that will keep readers turning the pages well
past bedtime." - Kelley Armstrong, New York Best Time Selling Author.

“A dark and gripping tale by a true mistress of supernatural fiction.
Karen Dales brings fresh blood to the vampire genre.” —Michelle Rowen,
National Bestselling Author

Released from more than one hundred years of revenge, the Angel of Death
is no longer a tool for the Grand Council of the Chosen. He is finally
free to return to a semblance of a life with Father Paul Notus.

Haunted by nightmares of his past misdeeds and failings the Angel wants
nothing more than to be left alone. It is across the Atlantic, in a
foreign country, that he joins Notus, taking up the mantle once more as a
protector in a land where those who would see him dead have flourished.

Corbie Vale has not forgotten what the Angel has done. His own burning
need to see the Angel humiliated and Destroyed sets into motion a
carefully seeded plan despite warnings of greater retribution.

Now in Corbie’s territory, the Angel’s sword becomes the lure to a trap,
one that changes the Angel by giving him what he never dreamed of –
mortality.
