Bloodthirsty aliens are storming toward Earth. Can the Alien Hunters, a group of underdog heroes, stop them?

3 books + nearly 1000 pages of alien invasion and space adventure readers are calling “thrilling,” “quirky,” and “as action-packed as Star Wars.” From a USA Today bestselling author.

BOOK 1: Alien Hunters — The skelkrins. Predators from deep space. Creatures of claws, fangs, and malice. Riff and his crew are the Alien Hunters, ragtag mercenaries who travel the galaxy, trapping and removing cosmic critters. They’re just galactic pest controllers, not an army. When the skelkrins attack, will the Alien Hunters be the ones hunting aliens . . . or will aliens hunt them?

BOOK 2: Alien Sky — The Singularity. The day the machines gained awareness. The day they turned cruel. The robotic fleet swarms across the galaxy, slaying all in its path. The Alien Hunters–outgunned, outsmarted, outclassed–fly up to meet these killer robots. The battle between life and machine begins.

BOOK 3: Alien Shadows — On a dead planet orbiting a black hole, shadows stir. Some call them ghosts, others merely figments of the imagination. As these astral beings spread across the cosmos, the Alien Hunters stare into the darkness of deepest space . . . and find terror.

Jerlo wants to finish his paperwork, not search for a man who should be dead in a prison that’s nearly impossible to reach. When a disembodied voice warns him that a demon is after his indentured mage, Jerlo sets off without a second thought.

He swore an unbreakable oath to God to protect Sarn, no matter the cost. Even if he hadn’t, he’d still go on this quest. No one except God should have access to the power inside the Kid. But one man does, and he’s locked in the oubliette for demon summoning.

In a country run by a group that wants to destroy all magic, mages and demons shouldn’t exist. Neither should the rock monster that’s pushing Jerlo deeper into a trap. But this demon plans to do more than exist, and it’ll need more than monsters to succeed.

Now, Jerlo’s in a fight, not just for his life but for his soul. With just an unshakeable faith in the God who sometimes talks to him, will he lose everything in a deadly contest of wills?

“Some things are worse than death.”

Keep your head down. Don’t cause a scene. And never make friends.

These are the rules I have to live by to survive. After Vykens, mutated and soulless vampires killed my parents, I know they will come for me next.

As an Aura, I can manipulate the light within me, the same ancient light Vykens feed on. It’s supposed to be a sacred power, one used only for good and to help others.

But if I want to survive, I’ll have to defy the Auran Council and learn to use my rare ability as a weapon.

Now I’m caught in something even bigger than I can understand, with a power I can’t wield, and no one I can trust, except, just maybe, a mysterious stranger who’s captured my heart, making him the biggest danger of all.

In this full-length, urban fantasy series, Steele introduces readers to a dark and exciting world full of magic, mutated vampires, and romance. If you like Cassandra Clare, Stephanie Meyers, Sarah J. Mass or Kami Garcia, you will LOVE this new series! Scroll up and grab this gritty urban fantasy TODAY!

“Born of Light pulls you in right from the beginning of the story and the action pulses all the way through. It’s unique, captivating, thrilling, yet such a beautiful story that I cannot wait to get more of.” ~ Amazon Reviewer
