Vincent Alejandro
We all experience our own brand of torment, but who’s to say which torment is the most severe? Vincent is tormented by his failure to save his wife from vile men. They both died that dreadful night over two hundred years ago, but Vincent was reborn vampire. He blindly accepted an offer for vengeance having not considered the consequences. In hopes of atoning for being an immortal killer he has dedicated his vampiric existence to vigilantism.
Vincent has always been far more than a mere vampire, however. He possesses gifts his multi-millennial maker lacks, which isn’t common. He will soon learn why he is so powerful when he comes to the rescue of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to his lost wife. Learn how Vincent’s surreal reality unravels in The Being of The Four Realms.
Lisa Alejandro Catalina Paladino
If memories from a past life crept into your mind would you still be you or would you become your past self? Catalina struggles with this notion the night she meets Vincent Alejandro. The familiarity in his eyes, his touch, his mannerisms trigger memories she can’t explain, memories from a different time. As she slowly recalls who she used to be, she can’t deny who she’s become.
As events unfold she learns she has been used as a pawn by demons to manipulate Vincent. What the demons overlooked is that there is great strength within Catalina of which even she was unaware. Lisa was her past and Catalina is her present, but her future is yet to be determined. If you want to know if she rekindles her love with Vincent, or if she discovers a destiny far greater than she could have fathomed, then you need to read The Being of The Four Realms.

Chang Kang
Is betrayal governed by evil or is it simply a means to achieve a goal? Chang Kang is a hybrid, being both angel and demon, having shown loyalty to each side as a ruse to accomplish his own ends. He currently serves the demonic lord who lusts for the soul of a prophesied savior. He strongly disagrees with his lord, seeing Vincent as no more than a mere vampire with some telepathic gifts, but he will follow orders for now.
Chang Kang initially had designs on the angelic throne, then the demonic, but in truth he desires omnipotence. All those who are not him will serve him and those who serve him had better serve him well. Will Chang Kang overthrow both lords and conquer all four realms?

Antonius Lucius
If you were a vampire would the guilt of killing consume you, or would you embrace your nature? Antonio has never made any apologies for being an apex predator. Not only does he love the kill, but he relishes the seduction of every victim. That of course puts him in stark contrast with his progeny Vincent’s views. They have argued vehemently over the centuries about Vincent’s disdain for killing. Even though he’s never been able to sway Vincent, he still loves him dearly.
When Antonio sired Vincent he had found him an inch from death and the agony of Vincent’s thoughts broke his heart. He felt Vincent deserved his vengeance and Antonio was also longing for a companion. Antonio didn’t want a copy of himself though, he yearned for opposition in his immortal existence. He often wonders if that’s the true reason he turned him. He would do anything for his progeny and that devotion will be tested in The Being of The Four Realms…

Edward Smith
Have you ever felt like there were opposing psyches within your conscience fighting for dominance? What if one of those psyches was a killer? Edward Smith has endured this internal battle for decades. Waking up covered in strange blood once a month was unbearable, so Edward used his knowledge in biochemistry hoping to defeat a magical curse with science. Instead of a cure, he created a mutation turning himself into a human-wolf hybrid.
He learns from an ancient wizard that his new corporeal form resembles an extinct species known as halflings. His mental battle is constant now, trying to tame the beast within his soul. Although his situation seems grim, his one true blessing is his loyal friend Vincent Alejandro. Vincent possesses mental gifts that will allow him to help Edward settle his internal struggle, finding a way for both his psyches to coexist. Can Edward exist as both man and beast or will his civility surrender to his savagery?

Xang
If you had lived for thousands of years knowing you may never die, would you be self-serving or would you devote your existence to a greater cause? Xang is an ancient wizard cursed with endless aging by a demonic lord who slaughtered his entire family. He has always believed the best way to avenge them is by serving the angelic lord, the demon’s nemesis. He has acquired a plethora of knowledge over the millennia and has trained many promising elementals.
The true purpose of his acquisition and mastery is so he can guide the one being prophesied to save them all from eternal darkness. The Angelic Lord has told him that one night a dear old friend would bring this soul to his inner-mountain lair. Xang patiently awaits that reunion believing if he can guide this soul successfully, then he will have finally avenged his family. If you want to know which ancient friend he awaits, then read The Being of The Four Realms…

Lei Gong
How would you envision God? Are your ideas simply plucked from a religious text or the various artistic depictions scattered over the centuries? There are those of you who don’t believe in God or simply give God a different name. Even if you don’t believe in a deity you must have that same question that we all wonder, who or what created us? There is a theory in my book, which I won’t divulge here, but let me tell you about Lei Gong.
He is the lord of angels here on Earth who are all loyal servants of our creator. Lei Gong loves humanity and chooses the guise of a mixed human in an effort to represent all of us because he fights for all of us! He is a valiant leader who, despite his confidence, struggles with doubt as we all do. He has learned that a daunting evil is coming for Earth, so powerful that his angels will be overwhelmed. There is a prophecy that one being may be able to stave off this potential oblivion. Will Lei Gong defer to this legacy, placing all of his faith in the resolve of one being?

Chiyokosan
If you were told to describe a formidable warrior, would that warrior be a woman, and if not so, why? I imagine many men would see a petite Japanese woman as nothing to fear, but Chiyokosan could prove them wrong rather quickly. She is descended from a long line of gifted fighters who believe vehemently in honor and respect. However, her ancestors would probably disapprove of her current sport. She is a prize fighter, but nothing like you would see nationally televised.
Chiyoko fights in underground bouts where the stakes are high and defeat sometimes means death. In six years of fighting, she has never known defeat. She has grown accustomed to her prestigious lifestyle, celebrated wherever she goes, and dating a Wakagashira in the Yakuza. Will she walk away from the success she’s enjoyed when an ancient wizard comes calling for her to fulfill her ancestral vow?

King Brian
Do you think leprechauns were simply created by Irish elders as moral tales to warn their young against the pitfalls of greed? Well, King Brian would strongly disagree with you. Although he does enjoy tricking the greedy into making foolish demands, those tricks are not his primary purpose. Many ages ago the leprechauns had free run of their island until the mortals invaded. They built their villages and kingdoms, destroying the woods, driving the leprechauns and other magical sprites into hiding.
At first all the magical beings of nature sought to drive the mortals from their lands, but King Brian had a change of heart after interacting with some genuinely good souls. Although there are plenty of mortals he wouldn’t mind seeing go, there are also many he feels compelled to protect. He instructs his leprechauns to remain hidden but aid those they can when wickedness comes knocking at their door. He has protected the Irish for millennia, but when darkness threatens the whole world, will he extend that protection beyond his lands?

Pharaoh Coraqual
Many have questioned if we are alone in the universe but how many of you have questioned if we are alone on our own planet? Our vast oceans cover roughly 71 percent of our world and only about 5 to 10 percent of those waters have been explored. There are mysteries in the deep blue, but what mysteries have we yet to discover? Pharoah Coraqual has ruled those oceans for eons and prefers seclusion from surface dwellers. Not because he dislikes them, but because he feels it’s beneficial for both humans and mer to remain separate.
There are many occasions where his mer have aided humans lost at sea, but every time those sailors told their tales of mermaids and mermen they were never taken seriously. That disbelief helped them keep their existence secret, but with this dreadful darkness coming for Earth he fears hiding will no longer be feasible. Will this angelic ruler of the seas unite with this brother Lei Gong to fight for the right of all life on Earth to exist? Would this powerful union be enough to save us all from oblivion?

Incimphia
If your family was brutalized by a cruel militia when you were young, would vengeance dominate your life, or would you have an innate need to defend the weak? Many of us live in civil societies where we take our protections for granted, but there are other places where survival is a constant struggle. Incimphia grew up in the DRC and had witnessed many horrific cruelties during her childhood.
When she was orphaned she heard a faint whisper in the wind calling to her/ She followed this voice which drew her far from home, deep into the Himalayan mountains. She found an ancient wizard, Xang, who sensed great power within her and admired her noble spirit. With his guidance she became a gifted fire elemental, a sorceress with command over fire. He told her she could use that power to seek vengeance against those who slaughtered her family, or she could defend future families from suffering similar fates. He was exuberantly pleased with her choice. Now he will come to her, and she will have another very important choice to make.

Montaro
People usually detest those who lose control and slaughter others, but how does it feel to be the one who committed the slaughtering? Do they feel true remorse and if so would the rest of us care? Montaro is the hybrid result of a carnal act between a human and a dragon. He was raised by his Uncle Xang who tried desperately to help him control his dragon nature. For many years he had succeeded until one dreadful night.
Montaro inadvertently revealed his guise to some villagers who assumed he was a monster and attempted to kill him. Once they attacked, Montaro lost control slaughtering the entire village. After his temper settled the aftermath of his actions was unbearable. His uncle rushed to his aid and tried to console him, but Montaro resisted his efforts. He believed himself damned and beyond redemption. Xang lost him that night but millennia later found him again. Will Montaro still believe himself damned, or will he seek to atone by joining his Uncle Xang in the fight against darkness?

Tsung Li
If someone had scarred you for life and practically took everything from you, how long would you hold a grudge? Tsung Li has held on to his vengeful rage for thousands of years. After slaughtering the opposing army’s king, he was confident no one would dare stand against his brute strength and savagery, but he was mistaken. A cunning warrior from Japan bested him with heightened speed and agility. After suffering defeat, he was not only banished from the kingdom he sought to rule, but from the world he had always known.
Lei Gong sent him to a world where he felt the advantages of his halfling form would be meaningless. What Lei Gong had not accounted for was that the demonic lord did more than morph Tsung Li into a tiger halfling, he infused him with eternal youth. This supernatural longevity has given him millennia to master his savage form. He has anxiously searched for a way back to Earth so he can hunt down any and all descendants of the warrior who humiliated him.

Lansheena
If confidence in ourselves is celebrated, then why is it that we frown upon vanity? Who defines that boundary between acceptable confidence and overconfidence? Lansheena believes beauty should be worshiped and despises those she finds unattractive. She was sent to defend a world of creatures she finds repulsive and detests her station. Humans were modeled after angels but due to evolution some have developed traits she finds unappealing.
She desires to rule Earth and eliminate or enslave those who do not live up to her standard of beauty. She has aligned herself with Earth’s Demonic Lord in order to achieve this end. He is well aware of her ambitions, but Lansheena isn’t concerned because she doesn’t believe any of the demons or angels of Earth pose a genuine threat. She intends to serve whom she has always served, herself, and she expects all those she conquers to join her in that service. With all these evil beings having their own personal agendas, what brand of hell is coming for Earth?

Kerac
Is evil simply a point of view or can it be defined universally? Kerac has ruled the demons of Earth since its creation but has never secured an advantage over the angels. Thousands of years ago he set events in motion that he believes will finally turn the tide in his favor. He has seduced servants of the light into darkness and has directed mortals to carry out his sinister schemes. All souls who foolishly believe they will gain from serving Kerac are merely puppets on his strings.
All of his methodical planning may allow him to finally conquer Earth, but in truth his appetite has grown far beyond that achievement. Those on Earth bound to darkness serve him but he serves a darkness exponentially more powerful. Ruling one world is no longer satisfactory, he seeks to rule all worlds. If Kerac’s schemes play out accordingly he will be the demonic lord of the entire universe. He will need proxies though and will have to decide who he shall name the omnipotent ruler of Earth…
