Drawn by a
destiny he won’t accept…elite assassin, Henrik Lazar, detests the mystical curse
handed down by his mother. But when the sorcery in his blood is activated and
past pain comes back to haunt him, his new abilities come into play and he must
learn to control them.
Rescued by
Henrik in the heat of battle, Cosmina must decide whether to trust the assassin
who loathes the goddess she serves or face certain death on her own. Forced
into an untenable position, Henrik is left with a terrible choice—protect the
magical Order he despises, or deny destiny and lose the woman he loves forever.

series, Knight Awakened, too and settle in for a wild, magic-filled ride.
In AD 1331, warlord Vladimir Barbu
seizes control of Transylvania. But in spite of his bloody triumph, his claim
to the throne remains out of reach. The king of Hungary opposes his rule, the
Transylvanian people despise his brutal ways, and the high priestess needed to
crown him has vanished without a trace. But Barbu hasn’t come this far only to
be thwarted by a woman. He unleashes his best hunters to track her down and
bring her to him — dead or alive. For Xavian Ramir, killing is the only life he
has ever known. Torn from his family when he was a child, he was trained from
an early age to be an elite assassin. But now he longs for something more,
vowing to start anew after one last job. The bounty on his target’s head is
enough to set him up for good — if he can resist the long-dead conscience that
stirs to life when he meets his beautiful mark. Afina Lazar never wanted to
become high priestess, but the brutal murders of her beloved mother and sister
leave her no choice. Now she is running for her life, desperate to protect the
magical amulet entrusted to her care. But when Barbu’s assassin comes for her,
she realizes her only chance of stopping the warlord’s rise to power is to
convince this enigmatic — and handsome — hunter that she is more valuable alive
than dead. Dramatic and fast-paced, Knight Awakened is a stirring love story
between two people searching for a second chance in a magical world of
assassins, warlords, unearthly beasts, and nonstop adventure.

of locker room talk and ice rink antics, but whatever you call it, the action
better be heart stopping, the magic electric, and the story wicked, good fun.
After graduating with honors in psychology and working as
an interior designer, she finally succumbed to her overactive imagination and
returned to her first love: writing. And when she’s not writing, she’s dreaming
of magical worlds full of dragon-shifters, elite assassins, and romance that’s
too hot to handle. Callahan currently lives in Canada with her family and
writing buddy, a fun-loving golden retriever.
