WORLD BELOW SERIES

Night of the Knife (Book 1)

Legend holds that a Celestial turned evil once stole the Creator’s Staff of Light, fleeing with it to the World Below. The staff shattered when the Celestial changed a lizard into the Great Dragon. The exploding staff killed the evil Celestial and unleashed terrible beasts upon the Earth, for the Great Dragon became the mother of all her kind.

The other Celestials were forbidden to leave their realm to fix the problem. Thus, they sent their servants to stop the Dragons. Many called them Elves, and they did their best, but the Elves were no match for the fire-breathing monsters.

In desperation, the Elf Queen has sent the darkest of them—Iroldo the Lynx Lord, a master of the knife and stealthy forays—to rescue one who has learned a fatal Dragon weakness. But she’s locked deep in a deadly fortress, guarded by manticoras, wyverns, sorcerers and Dragons.

This is the world’s last chance to stave off eternal slavery, and their hope lies in the skills of the darkest of rogues.

NIGHT OF THE KNIGHT is the first book in the World Below series, written by bestselling author Vaughn Heppner

The Twililght Lands (Book 2)

Elves are tall, elegant and perfect in every way, cultivating their magic in the enchanted Twilight Lands.

One day, they discover that a Sylvan Tree has formed a dirty little Dryad. Phew. They don’t want her. She’s sent to scrubbing floors while they decide where to send her so she doesn’t embarrass them with her stupidities.

Lonely and rejected as if she’s nothing but a weed, Phade escapes into Fimbinella’s Woods. She’s been secretly learning, and she hopes to make a bow from a living branch of the Lorelai Tree.

It’s the start of Phade’s new and exciting existence as a free Dryad archer. She meets talking wolves and learns the bitter truth about Elves, the Twilight Lands and that there are other Dryads like her.

Now the Elves are hunting her as she tries to free the other so-called rejects. Can Phade beat the Elves at their own game, or are they simply too good for her and her wolves?

THE TWILIGHT LANDS is the second book in the World Below series, written by bestelling author Vaughn Heppner

Warrior of the Blood (Book 3)

The spell that ended the war between the Elves and Dragons trapped the Great Dragon in Elsewhere and banished the Fair Folk to the Twilight Lands. At long last, the world knew peace.

Centuries later, Jublain was out cutting grass. He saw an Elf and Dragon fall from the sky. Even though he knew better, he went to investigate.

Now Jublain is on the run, hunted by Dragonfriends, the undead, and a sorcerer with a five-hundred-year-old grudge.

Jublain has to become a warrior of the Blood or everyone he loves will die. To do that, he has to find a place that doesn’t exist and wield a sword with a death curse. His only friends are an old swordsman, a beautiful Dryad and drunken philosopher named Doctor Calidore.

This time, it looks as if the world is going to burn.

WARRIOR OF THE BLOOD is the third book in the World Below series, written by bestselling author Vaughn Heppner.
