by Sherrilyn Kenyon
St. Martin's Press; First Edition edition (August 2, 2011)

Setting: Las Vegas, NV
Harm no human…
A hired gunslinger, William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave. He believed that every life had a price. Until the day when he finally found a reason to live. In one single act of brutal betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark-Hunters, he gave his immortal soul for vengeance and swore he’d spend eternity protecting the humans he’d once considered prey.
Orphaned as a toddler, Abigail Yager was taken in by a family of vampires and raised on one belief- Dark-Hunters are the evil who prey on both their people and mankind, and they must all be destroyed. While protecting her adoptive race, she has spent her life eliminating the Dark-Hunters...

Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon

The hype surrounding Acheron, Sherrilyn Kenyon's latest Dark Hunter novel, continues. The release date is August 5. I'm not sure that it's as anxiously anticipated as Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn (book 4 of the Twilight Saga) but St Martin's has certainly cranked up the publicity machine. Go here for all things Acheron or simply take a look at the video Acheron For anyone who doesn't know who he is the video gives a pretty good clue.

Attnetion Dark Hunter Fans

St Martins Press is offering a free e-book copy of Seize the Night (Dark Hunter, 7) by Sherrilyn Kenyon in celebration of the upcoming release Acheron in August 5, 2008.
"Prepare for Acheron the biggest event in Dark-Hunter history..."

Here is the blurb:

"The most anticipated story in the blockbuster Dark-Hunter series. The never-before-revealed story of the Dark-Hunter leader, Acheron. He was made human in order to escape death, but in death he was reborn a god. . .

Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of shame. However, his human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Then, brought back against his will, Acheron became the sole defender of mankind.

Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he’ll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.

Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both.

War has never been more deadly... or more fun."

There is even a link so that you can "friend" Ash on MySpace if you are so inclined.

The books in Kenyon's vampire romance series - Dark Hunter - are quite well written as well as very popular.
