Sacred Words (The Guardian Series Book 1)
by Eli Cobb
When a 3,000-year-old demon tears through New York in search of the most powerful, magical books ever created, who’ll be there to stop it? A librarian, of course.
Kira Davidson, along with her immortal Roman General boyfriend, team up with the other human Guardians charged with protecting the sacred texts.
Within the cover of each book lies a broken piece of the original Ten Commandments. These stone fragments, carved by the voice of the God, contain the power of the sacred word itself−a power wielded by whomever possess the books. In the hands of a demon, that kind of power could wreak havoc upon humanity.
Lucifer’s Tears (The Guardian Series Book 2)
What’s worse than being trapped in Hell? Being subpoenaed as a witness by the High Chancellor, that’s what.
On trial in the Fifth Ring of Hell, Princess Naamah realizes the Imperial Inquisitor and his tribunal of demons intend to force an abdication, but only after using her to recover two magical rings which disappeared when her mother, Queen Agrat, was vanquished.
The rings, known as Lucifer’s Tears, were fashioned from the tears of blood wept by the mighty angel during his Fall. If only one ring is worn, the bearer is bound to the Dark Lord. But when both rings are worn, it is the Lord of Darkness himself who is bound.
Naamah’s attorney, a half-demon from California, along with the humans who defeated her mother, become her unlikely allies in preventing the greedy denizens of Hell from stealing her family’s throne. Further complications arise when the princess discovers the woman who now wears Lucifer’s Tears may be the only one capable of giving her what she desires most…a way out of Hell.
Neptune’s Poison (The Guardian Series Book 3)
When the old gods abandoned the Mortal Realm, Neptune crossed through a portal and opened a bar in Hell. Neptune’s Poison is an instant success, becoming one of Hell’s premium night spots. Neptune, dressing like a Disco-era gigolo, spends most his days mixing drinks and exotic potions, while contemplating ways to recover his lost trident. Overhearing a conversation between three gorgeous but troubled patrons, he devises a plan…one in which everyone involved gets way more than they bargained for.
Raven’s Conspiracy (The Guardian Series Book 4)
Cockroaches aren’t usually the best communicators, but when the proprietress of the Gardens of Gäap and Gomory is strip-searched, thrown in a dungeon and starved during a routine business trip, she learns from the fat-bodied insect that her former associates consider her a traitor and will likely execute her in the morning.
Our heroine’s troubles don’t end there, either. In Gomory’s absence, well-meaning employees accidentally destroy her office and records, release a witch who’d been held spellbound for thousands of years, and manage to lose seven magical medallions created by Merlin. Good thing the aging sorcerer himself decides to drop into her cell to rescue her…right?
