Partnership in Blood Volume 2: Covenant in
Blood
The wizards and the vampires have forged an
alliance based on blood and magic, hoping to turn the tide of the war
against the dark wizards. A few wizard-vampire bonds are as successful
as Alain Magnier and Orlando St. Clair's, but some much less so, leading
to arguments, resentment, and outright fights between the allied despite
their mutual goals.
Following his best friend Alain's example,
Thierry Dumont determinedly forms a partnership with vampire Sebastien
Noyer, despite the wizard's discomfort with being so close to a vampire
– a man – so soon after his wife's death. But they find that
desperation may be what is key to forming a covenant that works: Thierry
and Sebastien are almost immediately devoted to one another's safety.
With that strength behind it, the Alliance moves
to announce its existence to the world, hoping to rally support against
the dark wizards who threaten to destroy life as they know it.
Struggling to find its way in the expanding war, the Alliance discovers
that despite the advantages, the partnerships between individuals are
affecting the balance of magical power in the world, which may be an
even bigger threat to the world than the war itself.

Partnership in Blood Volume 3: Conflict in
Blood
As the Alliance wizard-vampire partnerships grow
stronger, the dark wizards feel the effects and become increasingly
desperate to find enough information to counter them, unaware of the
growing strain of the blood-magic bonds on the wizards and vampires
alike.
The conflict is spreading. The strife of
uncomfortable relationships, both personal and professional, is
threatening to tear up the Alliance from the inside, despite the efforts
of Alain Magnier and Orlando St. Clair, Thierry Dumont and Sebastien
Noyer, and even Raymond Payet and Jean Bellaiche, leader of the Paris
vampires, who is fighting to establish a stable covenant with his own
partner so he might lead by example.
As the war rages on and heartbreaking casualties
mount on both sides, the dark wizards keep searching for clues to
understand and counter the strength of the Alliance, while the
blood-bound Alliance partners hunt through ancient prejudices and
forgotten lore to find an edge that can turn the tide of the war once
and for all.

Partnership in Blood Volume 4: Reparation in
Blood
The war is at a fever pitch with both sides
stretched to the limit, when the dark wizards score a shocking victory
and capture Orlando St. Clair. Haggard with worry and grief at the

the vampire's heart and mind may be far too broken to save.
Knowing the Alliance teeters on the brink,
Christophe Lombard, the oldest, most powerful vampire in Paris leaves
his self-imposed seclusion to join the fight. Alain's lost friend Eric
Simonet, who betrayed him to join the dark wizards, is faced with a
choice between revenge and redemption. And Jean, enraged by Orlando's
capture, faces the most agonizing decision in his unlife as the final
battle looms: Will their actions lead to the shattering of the Alliance
or the salvation of the world?

Partnership in Blood Series
Alliance in Blood by Ariel Tachna (Part 1 of 4)
Can a desperate wizard and a bitter,
disillusioned vampire find a way to build the partnership that could
save their world?
In a world rocked by magical war, vampires are
seen by many as less than human, as the stereotypical creatures of the
night who prey on others. But as the war intensifies, the wizards know
they need an advantage to turn the tide in their favor: the strength and
edge the vampires can give them in the battle against the dark wizards
who seek to destroy life as they know it.
In a dangerous move and show of good will, the
wizards ask the leader of the vampires to meet with them, so that they
might plead their cause. One desperate man, Alain Magnier, and one
bitter, disillusioned vampire, Orlando St. Clair, meet in Paris, and the
fate of the world hangs in the balance of their decision: Will the
vampires join the cause and form a partnership with the wizards to win
the war?

A Summer Place by Ariel
Tachna
Overseer Nicolas Wells had
been coming to Mount Desert Island for ten summers to help build
cottages for the rich and powerful. Despite his secrets, he had
grown comfortable in the peaceful little island town, getting to know
its inhabitants and even to consider some of them friends. The
eleventh year, however, he arrived to startling news: the island's
peace had been shattered by a murder. At the request of the
sheriff, Shawn Parnell, Nicolas agreed to hire Philip Hall, the local
blacksmith and the probable next victim, in the hope that the secure
construction site would be safer than his house in the village. He
never expected the decision to lead to danger. Or to love.
