Zenith’s Child

Did you know that Heaven’s soundtrack is disco? Neither did Blue. She found out on the welcome tour.

Blue didn’t mean to leave her family and new allies when they needed her most, but that’s exactly what she did. In her defense, she didn’t think the silly prophecy about dragons would ever come true. But she has faith. They will be just fine without her.

It was just a teensy misunderstanding. And a measly magic arrow. A fluke, really.

Devon has no idea how this happened. One minute, the surviving members of the newly expanded Hounds of Dawn were fleeing for their lives and reeling from devastating losses and injuries. The young lady they promised to protect, the Nova, and her daughter were still missing. And the deranged human flamethrower who killed their friends and sought to use the Nova’s magic to seize control of the Cahlad still breathed and planned to kill the rest of them.

The next minute, they had accidentally triggered the dawn of a new age of magic. How were they supposed to know a few simple words spoken in the heat of the moment could change the course of history?
There was a giant purple portal, time travel, guns, knives, poison gas, collapsing buildings, and a flock of the cutest little dragons she had ever seen. Was this really her life? 
Now they are holed up in the home of a notorious criminal with nudist tendencies at each other’s throats and completely out of their depth. People are still trying to kill them and new enemies emerge with even more sinister intentions. Don’t even mention the margarita machine, the foul-mouthed grandmother, and the flock of enraged geese. But if they don’t get it together, the new age of magic they just ushered in will be a return to the dark ages instead of a renaissance.

If you enjoy heroes that take dysfunctional to whole new level, heart pounding shenanigans and magic fueled suspense, you will love the gripping third installment of H.S. Torben’s urban fantasy series Hounds of Dawn.

Blue forged an alliance between the most powerful and influential people in the magic world. And their first order of business was to start a riot.
They were only trying to get coffee. Everything went downhill from there. At this rate, it may take longer to achieve their goals than any of them signed up for.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Sam knew agreeing to an alliance with Blue and by proxy the Hounds of Dawn to stop the Sovereign and reestablish control of the Cahlad in exchange for protecting a young lady whose magic has the potential to change the world was a risk. But he never imagined things would fall apart so fast or so spectacularly. Turns out she’s a complete wild card.

“I’ve found human souls are like human livers. Astoundingly resilient until they are completely poisoned.”
Now everyone is scattered and fighting for their lives. As they navigate fragile new relationships, unravel treacherous conspiracies, and decipher cryptic prophecies about canned peaches and popcorn palaces, it soon becomes clear that none of them are here by chance. Larger forces have set them on a path toward a magic apocalypse. If they want to survive, they can’t rely on magic alone. They will have to learn to rely on each other. The clock is ticking, the balance of power is shifting, and the fate of every person on the planet is at stake. And the price of saving the world might be losing the people they love.
If you love humor filled, heart-pounding adventures, magic packed intrigue, and heroes that know the rules are only suggestions, the second installment of H.S. Torben’s urban fantasy series Hounds of Dawn is for you.

Blue has no idea what she is doing, but for better or worse, what happens next is sure to be exceptional in so many way.

Strange situations are an accidental specialty for Blue. In a world where magic is rare but real and a notorious bank robber wearing nothing but a mullet and too much eyeliner became the comically tragic face of magic overnight is normal, that’s saying something. As a former enforcer and current fugitive of magic’s governing body, the Cahlad, she doesn’t think twice about a string of magic surges, unexplained disappearances, and a mystery goon squad making the headlines.
A tiara-topped army of exposed cleavage decorated with tulle, rhinestones, glitter, and the occasional fringe poured through the door “Woo-ing” in triumph and wielding various penis-shaped party favors.
Until, that is, a series of magic calamities sparks a public panic, fueled by blustering politicians and an angry internet, and threatens to destroy the uneasy peace between the vastly outnumbered magic community and everyone else. At the center of it all, is a young girl with magic so powerful it could change the world. But, as Blue works to keep her young charge safe, it becomes clear; it is just as likely to end it.

Soon Blue finds herself the center of a group of powerful enemies turned allies that might just save the world—if they don’t kill each other first.

If you crave epic adventures filled with the magic of found family, the thrill of unraveling big conspiracies, and heart-pounding action expertly intertwined with moments of tenderness and amusement, don’t miss the Hounds of Dawn, the first book of H.S. Torben’s electrifying new urban fantasy series.
