The Penta Series

Penta was a horseman of great renown - some might even say he was legendary. Now in his retiring years, he is ready to watch the setting sun from the porch with his wife of many decades. But when unexpected violence takes her and everything from Penta, he must learn how to survive as an unwilling vampire. Set in the fantastical world of Kinthur and filled with magic and heroes, Penta’s journey will take him across strange lands and encounters with creatures of darkness and light.

Even a vampire tires of running and living in the wild. It's been 200 years since Penta fled from the Kingdom of Cord. In the city-state of Avarice, he finds a vampire mentor and discovers that being un-dead is a lot more complicated than he thought. Penta learns the true extent and cost of his powers. In Avarice, he finds not only connection, but a reason to continue his existence. But when his mentor demands more than loyalty, Penta will find himself in a conflict of conscience as well as a fight for survival.

Penta has finally reached the City — but not all doors open for the undead. Survival alone would be a triumph in a place where vampires are outlawed and hunted in the shadows. But Penta is drawn into a web of political intrigue, strange alliances, and creatures unlike anything he’s faced before. As ancient powers stir beneath marble towers and bloodstained catacombs, Penta must navigate a world built to destroy him — and confront a challenge that could change the fate of Kinthur itself.
