Book Description
For centuries, the witches of Starfall have served the people of the fourteen domains while keeping their own secrets close. No one outside their ranks knows their power comes from a ritual that divides each newborn daughter in two: the witch, infused with magic, and the doppelganger, a soulless shell that is soon destroyed. Not all of the doppelgangers are dead, though, and their battle to survive will plunge Starfall into crisis. So long as her doppelganger lives, a witch cannot control her magic. But there are secrets even the witches do not know, and the doppelgangers hold power of their own . . . This omnibus includes the novels from the novel duology Warrior and Witch, as well as the prequel novella “Dancing the Warrior.”

The first THREE books of the Experimental Heart series in one collection. Includes Destiny, Pieces, and Secrets. For a relic of war, death is my inevitable release. Most people can’t kill without regret, but I don’t have that luxury. I am a tank-created nu-human, and my sole purpose hinges on the whims of my tyrannical maniac creator. Town annihilations to political assassinations—I never disobey. Until I want more. When I escape beyond the realm of my former master, my only goal is safety—freedom—a life I always wanted. I should have known my creator would send deadly pursuers. He wants to remind me of what I’m never fated to have. Then destiny tempts me with the unexpected. When a dragon—a creature said to be long extinct—offers me a chance at true freedom from my former master’s control, I don't know what to believe. In my line of work, trust kills. But something is different about this creature.... With nothing to lose, I agree to his terms. Now, I wait. Will he give me the freedom I crave, or did I seal my fate?

Book Description
A new omnibus collecting volumes ten, eleven, and twelve of the Vampire Hunter D horror novel series! The hunt continues in the bizarre far future of 12,090 A.D, where the immortal vampire lords who were the only winners of mankind’s nuclear war still oppress the human survivors who have pushed the blood-drinking fiends back to the lawless Frontier. Yet humanity too remains as quick as ever to prey upon itself, and where the law can’t bring safety or justice, the crescent blade of D will—assuming you meet the half-vampire wanderer’s price! A treasure of tales awaits inside the oversize Vampire Hunter D Omnibus Book Four, beginning with Dark Nocturne, a collection of three novellas. In the title story, “Dark Nocturne,” D investigates a siren song luring young men to their death. In “An Ode to Imagined Fall,” the Hunter is caught between two lovers against a ritual sacrifice. In “Legend of the War Fiends,” two bioengineered veterans of a conflict long gone find the fight has still not ended. Then begins the epic four-part novel Pale Fallen Angel, complete in this omnibus, where D takes on perhaps his strangest job yet—escort Baron Byron Balazs, son of a vampire lord, on a treacherous journey to faraway Krauhausen. Not only does D demand a hundred times his usual fee, he exacts a vow that the Baron may not feed upon humans along the way! But even with his client’s price paid in precious metal, D knows that on the Frontier, trustworthiness is still more rare than gold… The Vampire Hunter D Omnibus Book Four collects volumes 10, 11, and 12 in author Hideyuki Kikuchi’s adventure horror series: Dark Nocturne, Pale Fallen Angel Parts One and Two, and Pale Fallen Angel Parts Three and Four.

Vampire Hunter D Omnibus Book Five collects in full two different multi-part novels! Twin-Shadowed Knight is a story in two parts—most apt, as the D’s investigation into a vampire’s dying words leads to a sorcery that splits the Hunter himself into two beings…the second D, full of passion, hunger, and carnal desire! Then, the three-part Dark Road brings triple the thrill, as D crosses over the southern border into the realm of General Gaskell. No ordinary vampire noble, this immortal warlord survived his supposed death under the sun to command the loyalty of a veritable army of the undead, who have been given their silent marching orders—eliminate D! The Vampire Hunter D Omnibus Book Five collects volumes 13, 14, and 15 in author Hideyuki Kikuchi’s adventure horror series: Twin-Shadowed Knight Parts One and Two, Dark Road Parts One and Two, and Dark Road Part Three.
