The Mage Tales Prequels
by Ilana Waters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Urban Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
From USA Today bestselling author Ilana Waters:
Vampire. Witch. Hero. Monster.
Titus
Aurelius is all of these things. Ever since he rose from the ashes of ancient
Pompeii, this former Roman general has fought for survival.
A few
millennia later, bloodseeker Titus isn’t looking for trouble—just a quick meal.
But when his path crosses the witch Abigail’s, that plan gets shot to Hades.
They find out the Paranormal Investigation Agency (PIA) is plotting something
monstrous—something that involves exploding gas mains, lethal bird-shifters,
and sadistic vampire minions.
Will
they uncover the PIA’s murderous secret before every supernatural in its path
is destroyed?
And
what is Titus and Abigail’s connection to the mage who, almost twenty years
later, is exiled to a paranormal boarding school? Can this mage solve a mystery
concerning a stolen potion and ghostly figure before students—including
him—wind up dead?
Together
for the first time, the Mage Tales Prequels: Books 0-II are action-packed,
edge-of-your-seat suspense stories shot through with a megadose of snark. If
you love authors like Kevin Hearne, Lev Grossman, and Ilona Andrews, give these
a try! This box set contains one novella and two full-length novels:
When
Darkness Falls
Blood
and Magic
Mage Lessons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
From When Darkness Falls:
I
am dying, I thought, in wonder. After all these years . . . this is what it
feels like. Pompeii is dying, and she is bringing me with her.
It
took all the strength I had just to keep breathing, to draw myself up to the
podium, clawing at its sides. Even then, I was too weak to stand. I didn’t know
if my feeble grip would hold the chalice. Still, I reached for it with
outstretched fingers. One of them hit the cup, and the chalice shook violently.
My eyes bulged.
No!
I
saw the chalice go over the other side of the podium. I squeezed my eyes shut,
and with the last burst of magic I could muster, pulled it back within my
grasp. I barely managed to wrap my fingers around the stem. I didn’t so much
lift the chalice to my lips as I let the liquid spill over them. I fell
backward and onto the floor, the now-empty chalice clattering next to me.
I
remember thinking it would taste like wine.
I’m
sure you all know how vampirism works by now. A vampire drains your blood and
replaces it with their own. Then, you’re essentially immortal—ageless, and
frozen in time. Of course, it would have been helpful to have this information
before I drank from the chalice.

AUTHOR BIO:
Hi!
I'm Ilana Waters, USA
Today bestselling author of the Mage Tales.
I
write urban fantasy for those who like it fast, funny, and fierce. If you're
into cross-blended creatures (think witch-vampire hybrids and half-breed mages)
and supernatural ass-kicking, I'm all over that. Ditto if your book turn-ons
are equal parts creepy and action-packed (think ancient cities and crypts
combined with beheadings and bombs).
