Awakening the Night - Dusk to Dawn Series, #1

"You are the key to either ending the war or starting a new one." When his home is attacked and an old friend returns, Bastian Hayes has the chance to become what he always wanted to be: a vampire hunter. But his new life comes with a price; an ancient mystery, hiding an even darker truth. One that runs in his very blood... Bastian quickly discovers, that he is about to be targeted by half the vampire world-not because of anything he did, but for whatever his parents did almost twenty years ago.
Who were they, and what could they have done that so many vampires wanted him dead out of revenge?Together with two witches, Tess and Emalyn, Bastian has to escape hordes of vampires, battle in a gladiator arena, save innocent humans from a power-hungry coven leader, and resist the instinct to drink human blood-all while trying to keep a spell book that can turn the tide of the decades-long war between vampires and witches out of the wrong hands.   Cursed is the man who dies, but the evil done by him survives... Dusk to Dawn Series Prequel: Enchanted - Book of Spells Book 1 - Awakening the Night Book 2 - Surviving the Eclipse Book 3 - Hunting the Forsaken
