Seth’s time is running out. If he can’t hand over the entrance to Olympus, his own life and those of his people will be forfeit.

From the Cover:

Harm no human.

A hired gunslinger, William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave. He believed that every life had a price. Until the day when he finally found a reason to live. In one single act of brutal betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark-Hunters, he gave his immortal soul for vengeance and swore he'd spend eternity protecting the humans he'd once considered prey.

Orphaned as a toddler, Abigail Yager was taken in by a family of vampires and raised on one belief - Dark-Hunters are the evil who prey on both their people and mankind, and they must all be destroyed. While protecting her adoptive race, she has spent her life eliminating the Dark-Hunters and training for the day when she meeting the man who killed her family: Jess Brady.

A gun in the hand is worth two in the holster.

Jess has been charged with finding and terminating the creature who's assassinating Dark-Hunters. The last thing he expects to find is a human face behind the killings, but when that face bears a striking resemblance to the one who murdered him centuries ago, he knows something evil is going on. He also knows he's not the one who killed her parents. But Abigail refuses to believe the truth and is determined to see him dead once and for all.

Brought together by an angry god and chased by ancient enemies out to kill them both, they must find a way to overcome their mutual hatred or watch as one of the darkest of powers rises and kills both the races they've sworn to protect.

Interview With Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Today at Tink's Place, I'd like to welcome another great author, Sherrilyn Kenyon. Ms. Kenyon writes The Dark Hunter Series, The League Series, and The Chronicles of Nick Series.

About the Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon lives a life of extraordinary danger... as does any woman with three sons, a husband, a menagerie of pets and a collection of swords that all of the above have a fixation on. But when not running interference (or dashing off to the emergency room), she's found chained to her computer where she likes to play with all her imaginary friends. With more than ten million copies of her books in print in 26 countries, she certainly has many friends to play with.

Hi Sherrilyn! Welcome to Tink's Place! Why don't you tell us about yourself?

Thanks for having me. There's not much to tell really. I'm a death-defying, immortal astronaut who slays demons...

Oh wait, those are characters from my various series. Never mind...

LOL, who does want to ride a space ship or hot motorcycle...  as well as being a death defying immortal demon slayer?

Some authors say it's the story begging to be told or a character that drives the need to write. What drives your need to write? When do you like to write, morning, noon, midnight?

Whenever and wherever I have a chance. And yes, the people in the stories are what drive me to write.

Your latest release, No Mercy, is part The Dark Hunters Series. Would you like to tell us a little about the series?

They're immortal slayers who sold their souls to the Greek goddess Artemis for a single act of vengeance against their enemies who killed them. In exchange, they spend eternity battling the Daimons who were created by the god Apollo and protecting mankind from those who would prey on them.

Oh, I'm rubbing my hands together, as my readers know, I love a book that includes a taste of mythology!!

When you're not working on your next book, who are some of the author's you enjoy? What's your favorite all-time read?

I read tons of authors. Kevin J. Anderson. Jim Butcher. Shannon Butcher. Stephanie Laurens.

My all time fave read is The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer.

Is there a character you feel close to, maybe part of yourself has seeped into?

I never seep into the characters and I feel close to all of them. They're like my children.

Who's your favorite hero?

I don't have one. Sorry.

Hey, that's okay, I fall a little for every hero.

Would you like to tell us what's next for you? Another Dark Hunter book?

After No Mercy, the next book out is Invincible which is part two of the Chronicles of Nick and then Born of Shadows which is another League novel.

Oh, I can't wait, I LOVE your League Series!

Now fun stuff. If you were stranded on a desert island, what five things would you want to be stranded with you?

1. My hubby
2. My children
3. Enough of their friends to keep them happy
4. A computer with never ending electricity
5. My pets

Awww, all great things and people to have surrounding you, not only on a desert island, but everywhere, everyday!!

I'd like to thank Ms. Kenyon for spending a little of her valuable time with us today here at Tink's Place. I love learning more about my favorite authors, don't you?

If you'd like an extra entry into the What's Your Sanctuary Giveaway, leave a comment congratulating Ms. Kenyon on her release!

Thanks for visiting!

What's Your Sanctuary? + Giveaway

When I was contacted about hosting a "What's Your Sanctuary?" giveaway of Sherrilyn Kenyon's new book, No Mercy, I was like.... well, first I had to close my mouth and wipe the drool from my chin, because... who wouldn't want to GIVEAWAY a copy of one of Sherrilyn Kenyon's book?  Who doesn't want to READ one of Sherrilyn Kenyon's books?



And, it's an easy giveaway!  All you have to do is tell what your sanctuary would be or is!!  How easy is that?

I'll get the ball rolling.....  hmmmmm....  What would be my personal sanctuary?

My personal sanctuary, where I go when I'm afraid the world is going to get me is home. It used to be my childhood home, where I could surround myself with all the comforts of my childhood. Because, there really is no place like home, and it's very hard to go back once we've left. But, I've grown up, and now, provide sanctuary for my own children, and I also have to add, books, escaping within the pages of a good book is so satisfying....

So, now you know my sanctuary... What's your Sanctuary?

If you like to win a copy of Sherrily Kenyon's new book, No Mercy, leave a comment telling me What's your Sanctuary?

Sherrilyn Kenyon's New Release "No Mercy" and Book Trailer Peek

Publisher:  St. Martin's Press
Pages:  352


If you enjoy Sherrilyn Kenyon's books as much as I do, then you don't make to miss No Mercy.  This is going to be one hot read!

(Release Date:  September 7, 2010)

From the Cover:

Live fast, fight hard and if you have to die then take as many of your enemies with you as you can. That is the Amazon credo and it was one Samia lived and died by. Now in contemporary New Orleans, the immortal Amazon warrior is about to learn that there’s a worse evil coming to slaughter mankind than she’s ever faced before.

Shapeshifter Dev Peltier has stood guard at the front of Sanctuary for almost two hundred years and in that time, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought. Now their enemies have discovered a new source of power- one that makes a mockery of anything faced to date.

The war is on and Dev and Sam are guarding ground zero. But in order to win, they will have to break the most cardinal of all rules and pray it doesn’t unravel the universe as we know it.

Promo: * Infinity, Chronicles of Nick, Book One* by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Publisher:  St. Martin's Press
Pages:  448

(Release Date:  5-25-10)

From the Cover:  At 14, Nick Gautier is an average kid who runs with the wrong crowd. But on the night he decides to go straight and refuses to mug an innocent tourist, his crew turns on him and just as he thinks his life is over... a new one begins.

Kyrian of Thrace isn't just a vampire slayer, he's a Dark-Hunter and he introduces Nick to a world that he never imagined.

With new enemies who make his old ones look like wimps, Nick must either measure up or get sized for a body bag. It's kill or be killed and this kid who was born on the wrong side finds a strength inside him that he never knew existed.

Now if he can only find someone to help battle the demons that don't reside inside him.

**Note to Dark-Hunter fans**

The Chronicles of Nick *is* Nick’s real and true past. There is a huge surprise (several actually) in the book that I don’t want to spoil, but when you read the book, everything you think is an inconsistency will make perfect sense to you. More than that, you will understand exactly why Nick is the way he is and why he continues to hate Acheron the way he does. But you have to be patient. All will be clear on May 25, 2010.

Nick’s series will run until it intersects with Night Pleasures and then Nick will have his own novel in the Dark-Hunter world.

Book one, Infinity, begins when Nick meets Kyrian.
Book two will pick up the next day after Infinity ends and will be out Feb 2011.

Remember the one promise that I try to keep in every book: Just when you think you know the truth about a character or event, you find out that things are seldom what they seem. Nick is one of those characters. There’s a lot more to our little Cajun than what you’ve seen to date. That’s why it takes 12 books to tell his story.

There are many, many secrets you’ll learn about a lot of characters, including Cherise and especially Jaden and Jared. Just hold on... you ain’t seen nothing yet :) (This excerpt is taken directly from Ms. Kenyon's site @  http://sherrilynkenyon.com/book_profile.php?id=64 )  For more information, click the link.


Dang, I'm loving this cover!!  I can't wait to give this new series a try!  Vampires, slayers, and demons, oh my!  I'll be picking up Infinity, Chronicles of Nick, Book One come May, it looks and sounds awesome!

And because I couldn't resist, here's the UK Cover!  Which do you like better?

 

Born of Night Giveaway

From the Cover: In the Ichidian Universe, The League and their ruthless assassins rule all.

Expertly trained and highly valued, the League Assassins are the backbone of the government. But not even the League is immune to corruption . . . Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades once turned his back on the League—and has been hunted by them ever since. Though many have tried, none can kill him or stop him from completing his current mission: to protect Kiara Zamir, a woman whose father’s political alliance has made her a target.

As her world becomes even deadlier, Kiara must entrust her life to the same kind of beast who once killed her mother and left her for dead. Old enemies and new threaten them both and the only way they can survive is to overcome their suspicions and learn to trust in the very ones who threaten them the most: each other.

Since the wonderful people at St. Martin's Press sent me an extra copy of Born of Night, it's giveaway time. YAY!! So, that means one lucky commenter gets to take home this little jewel home with them. It's an excellent read, Sherrilyn Kenyon creates a wonderful world to explore, and I personally fell in love with Nykyrian (great tortured hero!), sexy paranormal romance.

Promo ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon ~ Born of Ice

It's time for another installment of The League Series by Sherrilyn Kenyon!! I can't wait to take a peek!!

(Release date: December 1, 2009)

From the cover: In the Ichidian Universe, the League and its ruthless assassins continue to keep rule. But at what cost? Welcome back to the future…and a whole new world.

Devyn Kell spent his life in service to the League until he learned of the double dealing and backstabbing that was costing innocent people their lives. Refusing to play those politics, he became a Runner—someone who makes sure planets get the weapons, medicine and supplies they need to survive. May the gods have mercy on any who get in his way, because he definitely won’t.

Alix Garran is a woman on the run from a past she can’t escape. Signing on to work for Devyn as a System’s Engineer, she finds a cause she can fight for—and a man she can respect. But as Alix’s past catches up to her, and Devyn’s old enemies turn lethal, they have to fight together…or fall alone.

From the Cover: Awakened from a drugged sleep in a cold cell, the Princess Kiara finds herself a prisoner of the merciless marauders who threaten her father's planetary kingdom. Miraculously, a rescuer appears, but behind his fearsome mask is the handsome face of a dark avenger whose outlaw touch sets her very soul aflame.

Synopsis (from Sherrily Kenyon site) :

In the Ichidian Universe no one was safe people were dragged from their homes and killed in the streets. Victims of a ruthless tyrant who was bent on being the sole ruler. Those who opposed him formed an alliance called The League, which fell under the leadership of the Quorum.

The Quorum realized that the best way to keep trouble from starting was to cut it off at its knees. So a separate group of soldiers was needed, The League Assassins. Highly trained and highly valued, they are the backbone of the government. But not even the League is immune to corruption...

Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades was born and trained to slaughter. Refusing to be a pawn, he turned his back on the League and has been hunted by them ever since. Though many have tried, none can kill him. Now his assignment is to protect Kiara Zamir, a woman whose father's political alliance has made her a target. She wants nothing to do with politics, yet she is forced to submit to protection or die.

And as her world becomes even deadlier, Kiara must entrust her life to the same kind of beast who once killed her mother and left her for dead. Old enemies and new threaten them both and the only way they can survive is to overcome their suspicions and learn to trust in the very ones who threaten them most-- each other.
