Book 1.5 of 4
Child of Twilight
Venice, Italy, 2039. When Michael Danvers witnesses a vampire attack, his latent ability to shapeshift awakens. Revealed as a Sentinel, the natural enemy of Nightwalkers, 13-year-old Michael must turn his back on his family and his safe, predictable life. But a supernatural battlefield is no place for a child, not even a genius like Michael. Betrayed by his own kind, he leaves Earth behind, hoping to find a new path with the Spacer Guild – and the stars.
Tempered by Moonlight
Relocating to the Citadel, Michael quickly makes a name for himself at the Spacer Guild Academy. But each advancement means less to him than the friendships he acquires, of fellow cadets William and Ariel, even as Michael is promoted above them.
Forged in Starlight
Everyone had plans for Michael’s future: his parents, the Sentinels, the Guild—even his best friend, Will. But Michael takes control of his destiny, and when called upon to make a fateful decision with countless lives hanging in the balance, the only sense of honor that matters is his own.

So far, the vampire appeared to be relatively fastidious, always going for a solitary kill in the early evening, then immediately leaving the area for one of the other islands to meet up with his friends. The falcon hadn’t bothered to follow any of the others to see whether they were human or vampire, not wanting to lose sight of its quarry.
And so they had fallen into a rhythm, both sleeping by day and hunting by night. The falcon continued to watch, patiently waiting as the cycle repeated itself. The nameless vampire trailed his prey for the night: a young woman in her twenties, walking alone and carrying a bag of groceries. When she left the wider streets around the canals, she entered a narrow alley. The Nightwalker made his move, blurring into motion as he ran up behind her. He bared his fangs and wrapped his arm around her throat to stifle her screams. The falcon watched with detachment, one predator studying another, while the pattern played out again.
And then everything changed.
The woman was suddenly outlined in a searing white glow, and the Nightwalker’s arm burst into flames. Howling, he jerked away from her and stumbled backward, eyes wide. The woman turned around and smiled pleasantly, still sheathed in white fire. The vampire clapped his hands together and was immediately surrounded by a shield of green light, but he staggered backward when the woman’s next spell engulfed him in cobalt fire.
