Kholster is a Grudgebearer, firstborn of the nearly immortal Aern, a race created by the Eldrennai as warrior-slaves. Unable to break an oath without breaking their connection to each other, the Aern served faithfully for thousands of years until the Sundering freed them. While the tortures of slavery remain fresh on Kholster’s mind, most of the rest of the world moved on, until almost six hundred years later when an Eldrennai prince carelessly breaks the truce... kicking off an epic fantasy series you can sink your teeth into: Grudgebearer, Oathkeeper, and Worldshaker by J.F. Lewis

Gail Z. Martin, author of Reign of Ash, called Grudgebearer, “A high-stakes adventure through a complex world with intriguing characters that will keep you flipping pages until the very end."

“Outstanding…one of the most uniquely layered and complex universes since Frank Herbert’s Dune.”–Starburst Magazine

“Slavery and the abuse of power is a prominent theme in the novel, as well as hatred and forgiveness. Lewis gives no easy answers; innocent bystanders are still guilty for not standing up for what they knew to be right, but unforgiving hatred, even by a wronged party, is also questioned and judged. His analysis is intelligent and balanced, and it doesn’t muddle the narrative or get in the way of the fun.” –Portland Book Review

In Void City, the vampires run the town, the cops are on the take, and the werewolves have found religion. This neo-noir meets heavy metal adventure starts with Staked and accelerates through Revamped, Crossed, and Burned.

"Literary methamphetamine. The best thing to hit paranormal fantasy in years.” - Paul Goat Allen of barnesandnoble.com

"The action, vampirics, and outright outrageousness have all been cranked up as high as the printed page can stand. J.F. Lewis' vampires pack an amazing array of powers, and Eric is the bloodsucking equivalent of a Spinal Tap song: he goes all the way to eleven." -Michael M. Jones of Green Man Review

"Uncovering the mystery surrounding [Lewis's] rebel hero is a reward in itself, while the action scenes in this raucous, raunchy blood-opera make for a very satisfying crunch." - Dark Realms Magazine

"J. F. Lewis has delivered an explosively written vampire tale!" Sherrilyn Kenyon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dark Hunter series

"A pedal to the metal demolition derby of sex and violence." Mario Acevedo, author of X Rated Bloodsuckers

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Staked with the release of a new novella featuring Greta, coming soon!
