Callum the Demon Hunter

By Jacob Aldridge

Before Blake Michaelson became the next great weapon in an ancient war, the Helsing Council lost another Michael-born hunter. His name was Callum Reeve. For nine years, Callum has served as one of the Council's deadliest operatives, wielding the supernatural strength, sharpened senses, and angel-marked blood of a descendant of the Archangel Michael. But none of his training prepares him for the disappearance of Aoife Kearney, the Mentor who taught him how to survive and the woman he was never supposed to love. When Aoife vanishes while investigating vampire activity along the Irish borderlands, Callum defies direct orders and follows her trail to the ruins of an ancient monastery, where he discovers that she has been transformed into one of the Chalyth-the very creatures he was born to destroy. Waiting beside her is Ashuriel, an ancient vampire who claims that something far worse than death is approaching. Prophecies are awakening, sacred seals are beginning to fail, and Mattan, the first true vampire, is preparing to turn hunger itself into a weapon of apocalypse. Ashuriel offers Callum an impossible choice: remain human and fight beside a Helsing Council already crippled by secrecy and hesitation, or surrender the life he knows to gain the power necessary to face what is coming. Torn between duty, love, and the terrifying possibility that his enemies may be telling the truth, Callum must decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to save a world that may already be falling. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Texas, seventeen-year-old Blake Michaelson has no idea that the darkness has begun learning his name. Blending vampire horror, forbidden romance, angelic bloodlines, tragic choices, and supernatural action, Callum the Demon Hunter is a dark young adult prequel to The Helsing Chronicles: Blake the Demon Hunter. This is not the story of how a hero wins. It is the story of how one is lost.
