Series Description or Overview[]

Gabriel had always been told of legends about his family's involvement in a supernatural war of chosen Knights versus Demons, but he had never believed them. Now that a mystical weapon has physically and psychically bonded itself to him, leaving power-bludgeoned victims in its wake, Gabriel is more inclined to believe the stories his grandfather told. He had better: he has to fight the new infiltration of demons! ~ Fresh Fiction

Book Cover Blurbs[]

✤ BOOK ONE—The Dark Storm (2010): Gabriel is a New York City college kid who loves to bury his nose in books, looking up stories of long-dead cultures, lost languages, and forgotten legends. He never imagined one of those legends would come looking for him - until a tough-talking girl named De Mona Sanchez thrusts an ancient weapon into his hands...and recruits Gabriel in a dark epic war he was born to fight. Banished centuries ago by warrior knights, a demonic army is storming through a dimensional rift into our world. Stalkers are prowling the streets. Corpses are rising up to fight. And Gabriel - a descendant of one of the original warriors - has no choice but to drop his textbooks and start kicking demon butt alongside his new friend De Mona.who has a few secrets of her own. If Gabriel fails, humanity loses. If war is hell, this is hell on earth. ~ Dark Storm (book 1) by Kris Greene ~ FF and Goodreads

✤ BOOK TWO—The Demon Hunt (2010): Soul-sucking demons. Half-human killers. Doomsday prophesies. No, this isn't a late-night movie on cable TV. This is Gabriel's life--or least, what's left of it--ever since he discovered his true destiny as a warrior knight in the battle against darkness. Once an ordinary college kid studying lost legends in books, Gabriel now finds himself face to face with actual demons. As a warrior, he has no choice but to fight them. And if he screws it up, the world is toast... A dimensional rift has opened between worlds. Which means more demons--and more death--than you could shake a proverbial stick at. Luckily, Gabriel has just the stick for the job, an ancient trident that gives him awesome demon-bashing powers. To watch his back he has the butt kicking half Demon De Mona and several unlikely heroes who he's picked up along the way. To make matters more complicated two of Gabriel's college buddies wind up dead and he finds that the demons aren't the only ones who want a piece of his hide. The cops want him too--for murder... ~ Demon Hunt # 2 by Kris Greene ~ FF and Goodreads

✤ BOOK THREE—The Reckoning: unpublished — This had a 2011 date, but it doesn't appear to have ever been published. There is no information on the author's website and she no longer appears on the publisher's author list. ~ Goodreads
