Daughters of Night Cover Reveal

Imagine the world you know being ripped away from you, and suddenly you realize all the fairy tales and scary stories just might be true...

The only thing Carmen really wanted was to live a normal life, but when the man of her dreams turns her into a monster and she learns of her witchcraft heritage, she said goodbye to normal and entered the world of the Daughters of Night.

Daughters of Night: Sanctuary

Life is hard. Death is harder. But for Carmen, the two go hand-in-hand.

Just when Carmen thinks her life is looking up, fate steps in and forces her into a life or death decision. Literally. Choosing to follow the guidance of her soulmate Gaviyn, Carmen breaks a centuries old curse and learns to live life as a vampire and a witch. With so many unanswered questions and hidden truths, though, Carmen keeps learning new facts about the past that only leave her with more questions. But the dangers are far from over as the pair is hunted by The Eradicators-whose goal is Carmen’s eternal demise. Gavin and Carmen seek out Sanctuary-a coven of misfit vampires and witches-in the battle for all their lives, and only the greatest sacrifice can save them all.

Daughters of Night: Possession

Taking refuge in the Colorado Mountains, Carmen and Gaviyn finally have it all. Friends, followers, and the family they had always dreamed of. But when a new vampire coven threatens to destroy Carmen’s family and release an evil with a thirst for blood upon the world by consuming Carmen’s mind, body, and soul, the vampires and witches of Sanctuary find themselves at war again. The key to Carmen’s salvation from the grips of a powerful demon, however, lies with a girl that none have ever met. With Carmen’s possession growing stronger by the minute, it’s a race against time to find the mystery girl and save Carmen before the demon consumes her – and still find Damien – before it’s too late.

Daughters of Night: Tribulation

After all that Carmen has been through, there is nothing she won’t do for her family. Nothing.

With Damien still missing and the new vampire coven still on the prowl for Carmen’s blood, Carmen goes looking for trouble, and finds more than she bargained for. Carmen’s sudden disappearance forces Gaviyn to make some changes at Sanctuary-one of which will change the course of their coven, and pave the way for the future of Sanctuary. Damien, after being tortured to the brink of death over and over again, finally finds an ally, but she’s hiding a secret that Damien might not be able to forgive. With more twists, turns, and loops than a roller coaster, Carmen and Gaviyn work with some surprising new friends to save Damien and defeat the wicked coven-and their tyrannical High Priestess-once and for all, while Damien tries to survive the torture and find his way back home. But as always, sacrifice is the name of the game, and this time, it may be a sacrifice nobody is willing to make.

About the Author

An avid reader and sarcasm specialist, Ashley's quirky and bubbly personality stems from the vast amount of information she crammed into her head as a child. No genre was off limits, but she developed a fondness for Stephen King books early on. Of course, growing up in Eastern Kentucky, life moved a little slower, so books became her closest friends. 

Fast forward a few years, and the vast insanity that surrounded Ashley became her life. In January 2009, she married the only person on Earth as insane as herself, and they now reside in Louisville, Kentucky, patiently awaiting the zombie apocalypse while she taps away at the laptop with a plethora of stories to keep you entertained.

B is for Blair - Sanctuary's Talented Witch and Chef

Welcome back, A to Z-ers!! Today, we get to meet Blair, another key character of the Daughters of Night series. 

In the books, Blair is a highly trained and crazy talented witch-a master of his trade, in fact. And the boy can COOK! In fact, it's his favorite thing to do in his downtime. He even insisted on a custom chef's kitchen when the home of Sanctuary was rebuilt and relocated. 






Blair's past, however, is a bit more troubled. Born in 1964 to as Travis Blair Smith, Jr. to Michelle and Travis Smith, Sr., Blair was raised in an aristocratic family in Chicago. His parents were neglectful, leaving Blair to be raised by the nanny. Until he was seven, he seemed to be a normal child, but then his powers started showing up and suddenly he was being bullied everywhere he went. Eventually, Blair became too afraid to leave the house, and and started skipping school. His parents, upon receiving his report card with horrible grades, punished him. His only ally was the nanny, who encouraged Blair to continue practicing his magic. She gave him books to read and worked with him on spells and conjuring, in hopes that he would one day be able to defend himself. 

The years dragged on, and eventually, at the tender age of sixteen, Blair's secret attraction to the same sex came out, and his torment began again, only this time, it was far more serious and painful.




One day at school, a group of jocks began picking on him during lunch, throwing rocks at his head and chasing him into a corner, trapping him in a semicircle of bulky teenage boys out for his blood. They called him the most horrible names, and started throwing punches. Out of fear and instinct for survival, he cast a spell to paralyze his tormentors. Needless to say, he was taken into custody and spent a good chunk of time (until he was eighteen) in a mental institution. 





When he was finally released, he was recruited by Quinn, and joined Sanctuary. He studied harder, and became the most talented witch in Sanctuary. At least, until Carmen came along.

I hope you enjoyed getting to know a little backstory to Blair. Come back tomorrow, and find out what the letter C brings us!!
