Saga of the Noble Dead

Saga of the Noble Dead

The "Noble Dead Saga" is a series of series that chain together rather than containing separate series stories. It tells the saga-level tale of a long forgotten conflict in the world, that once wiped out recollection of history, and the possibility that forces behind this mythical war may return again. The first series of six novels by Barb and J.C. Hendee tells the story of Magiere ( a dhampir, a vampire/human hybrid), Leesil (a half-elf, an elf/human hybrid, with a dark past), and Chap (a strange bred of dog rarely seen in the world). Magiere is unaware of her ancestry, the discovery of which comes as a considerable shock, and leads the trio into a tangle path that uncovers hints of the Forgotten History and what may be coming.

At the start of the story, the two "half-breeds", together with Chap, make a reasonable living pretending to be vampire-hunters. Eventually the inevitable happens and they cross paths with genuine vampires, or Noble Dead as they are called in the saga. Hoisted by their own petard, they are plunged unwillingly into a dark battle and into their own dark fates.

Series 2

The second series will incorporate a new trio consisting of two characters met in Series 1, a significant 3rd protangonist, and a new antagonist in form of a new type of Noble Dead. The new series will be set about a year after Series 2 ended in different part of the world, and is presently planned as three books. According to the authors, additional series will follow to bring the saga to its final conclusion, making this "series of series" one of the more unique approaches to a longer dark/high fantasy tale.
