Blood is thicker—and more tempting—than water

 Finally, school’s out for summer. To avoid the lethal sun, the Nocturne family is taking a trip to Isla Necrata, the exclusive resort owned by the Half-Light Consortium, whose destinations are always located near a natural disaster, which makes for plenty of vampire fun.
 
 But for Oliver, it’s hard to look forward to a big dose of time with his family when everything he does seems to disappoint them. Luckily, they stop to visit some Old World relatives in Morosia on the way. Though Oliver’s grandparents may be bloodthirsty and gothic, at least they still seem to like him. And the timing is convenient: Emalie is in nearby Rome searching for the oracle who may be the key to Oliver’s prophecy. But what the three friends discover in the ruins of Rome and the dark passages of Morosia will forever change their understanding of Oliver’s destiny and the dangerous lengths to which Half-Light would go to see the prophecy fulfilled.

Oliver Nocturne

Blood Ties

Oliver’s life is no different from those of most middle school kids—except he sleeps in a coffin and drinks blood for breakfast

Oliver Nocturne lives a pretty normal life—he deals with bullies, has an obnoxious older brother, and generally feels misunderstood. But being a vampire presents another host of problems, especially when he feels—he knows—he’s not quite like everyone else.
 
When Emalie, a human girl with a troubled past, takes a picture of him, Oliver ignores the rules that forbid him from interacting with humans and agrees to show her the darkest secrets of the Seattle underworld. But their quest will uncover more than vampire mythology—they will learn the terrible truth about Oliver’s past and his purpose. And for Emalie, this knowledge could come at a fatal price.

The Vampire's Photograph

When a vampire’s best friends are a human and a zombie, he’s bound to feel like a freak

Two months after Dean’s death, Oliver is a hero in the vampire world. But even though he wasn’t responsible, he’s having trouble sleeping and has never felt more alone. 
 
Surprisingly, Dean returns—as a zombie, no less—and though Oliver is glad to have his friend back, they need to hurry; someone has been slaying vampire children, and all the evidence points to Emalie. Can Oliver and Dean find her before the vampires do? Their search takes them deep into the underground black market and high into the Seattle night. As they discover the powerful forces behind the sunlight slayings, Oliver finds that it’s all intricately tied to a future he doesn’t want.

The Sunlight Slayings

It’s scary to know the fate of the world lies in your hands—but even scarier to learn that it might be in your brother’s 

 It’s the last night of summer and Oliver is hoping to have some fun with his two best friends. Once school starts, he’ll be one step closer to receiving his demon . . . and fulfilling the prophecy to open the Nexia Gate.
 
 Meanwhile, a series of gruesome animal attacks on humans has threatened to expose the vampire world. The evidence points to Oliver’s brother, Bane, who has recently acquired Occupying power—the ability to inhabit animals. Yet Oliver, Emalie, and Dean suspect something else is going on—a sinister plot that involves Oliver’s destiny, and possibly the mystery surrounding his human parents. Bane may hold the key to Oliver uncovering his past and changing his future—if the Half-Light Consortium doesn’t get to him first.

The Demon Hunter

Can a prophecy of the world’s end be undone—by a teenage vampire?

The Anointment is approaching, and soon Oliver will receive the power necessary to journey to Nexia and fulfill his terrible destiny. But that isn’t what he wants—and he may have finally found a way to change his fate. Yet the toughest part for Oliver hits closest to home: Whom will he choose—his friends or his family? No less than the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
 
As powerful forces converge and sinister plots are hatched on all sides, Oliver, Emalie, and Dean race to pull off their dangerous plan. Nothing is certain—except that everything is about to change.

The Eternal Tomb

On Earth, time is the ruler of all things—but time is not on Oliver’s side 

 It’s the beginning of the end. With the Anointment complete and Emalie gone, it seems that nothing can prevent Oliver from being summoned to the Nexia Gate to fulfill his terrible destiny. Illisius is coming. Oliver and his parents are being carefully watched by the Half-Light Consortium. There will be no mistakes this time.
 
 One sliver of hope remains: If Oliver and Dean can solve the baffling mystery of the Triad of Finity, there might still be a chance to change the future. But without Emalie, is it even possible? Time is running out, the battle is beginning, and Oliver, teenage vampire, is about to find out what it really means to be human.
