Empire Princess (5 Books) ~ Graham Diamond [BluA].epub

The Haven
After hundreds of years of scheming and waiting, creatures are set to come surging across the broad land to the very outskirts of the remaining bastion of human life.
They were a howling horde of cunning wild dogs and savage, blood-thirsty bats united now with only one goal in mind — to destroy their enemy: thousands of doomed men, women and children.
It would be a massacre so vicious, so horrible and so complete that they would finally be able to rule the world unopposed forever.
It is up to one young man to lead a small expedition of hardy warriors against them. Together they must find a way out to rescue humanity from the savage claws of these unstoppable beasts.
But they are greatly outnumbered, and they are all alone.
Fate and prophecy are now their only hope.
And one man is all that stands between them and oblivion…


Lady of the Haven
Beware the creatures lurking in the deep…

‘The tale you are about to read was told to me by Cicero over many long and sleepless nights. It tells of wolves, it tells of men, but most of all it tells of a young woman and the many adventures that befell her in the land in which she lived…’
Beautiful, daring Anastasia, known as Stacy, is of noble birth. But she discarded a life of suitors and servants to live in the lush forest of the Haven.
Embracing her adventurous nature, she suddenly leaves her life in the Haven to set out on a dangerous journey. Buoyed by the memory of Old One, Stacy travels across vast and dangerous seas to the forbidden land of the white wolves, taking the name Khalea.
In the land of Rhonnda she meets Alryc, a giant and astronomer, and Elias, captain of the ship the Brora. With their help she voyages to the lost city of Satra.
But Satra is besieged from above by barbarian hordes, who constantly strive to protect themselves against those creatures which attack it from below.
These ‘things’ are half-human, half-baboon.
Stacy and her friends are imprisoned on Satra, while savage wolves lurk in the darkness if they should escape. Stacy must gain the trust of these wolves to survive.
Her training in the Haven is the only way to save herself and her friends.


Dungeons of Kuba
NONE ESCAPE THE DEEPEST DARKNESS…

Their land is in peril. Power has been snatched from the hands of the Empire Princess by the maniacal Sigried.
The Empire’s great fleet had set sail in search of a legendary treasure island, Kuba, leaving the Haven unprotected. A portentous vision meant the fleet had been tricked by a treacherous enemy to force Stacy, the Empire Princess, to confront her sometime friend and now arch-enemy Sigried in the faraway and mysterious land of Kuba, a dark and forbidding place. 
It is Sigried, ruler of Kuba, who is on the advance against her, capturing her niece Mara and holding her to ransom. Stacy enlists the help of Assad, a mercenary, and has on her side Cicero, who can change into a wolf or a dragon. Loyal Alryc, the astronomer, is by her side, along with Guard Captain Melinda, faithful companions in a long, arduous journey.
Stacy disguises herself as Lady Kesa, coming across Lord Quentin of Kuba. Her ambition is to return home, as she carries the onus of leading her people in a role that was thrust upon her.


The Falcon of Eden
A QUEST THAT KNOWS NO BOUNDS…

“What is this Falcon of Eden, lord ambassador?” she asked inquisitively.
“An ancient legend, going back far, far before the writings and memories of my people. A fable, some say, yet others swear in its existence.”
The Falcon of Eden is a revered relic of the Russak nation, a bejeweled golden statue that has been lost for centuries.
Stacy, the Lady of the Haven and Princess of the Empire, needs the Russaks as allies. To gain their cooperation, she is forced into a quest for their legendary bird.
But Stacy and her small band of intrepid balloonists do not realize how far their sky journey will lead: to a strange fantasy civilization at the top of the world…
Across icy mountains and frozen caverns they travel – Stacy in search of treasure, and her only chance to gain true power in alliance.


The Beasts of Hades
The Haven is doomed…

From the tranquil forests of the Haven, a small and gentle rabbit brings a message.
The peace of the empire is now threatened by vicious creatures, maddened with blood-lust. And in their violent wake, there is an unearthly creature: not animal, not man.
With her trusted wolf at her side, and the small rabbit as a guide, Stacy the Empire Princess begins a hellish descent far beneath the forest.
In a subterranean world of fire and brimstone lives the true enemy.
But their plans do not include either the feeble human race or the many animals that live on the earth’s surface in the idyllic land of the Haven.
It is up to Stacy and her animal friends to put a stop to their evil machinations, and end forever their plot to transform the peaceful world into another hell.

The Beasts of Hades is the fourth and final instalment of Graham Diamond’s superb Empire Princess series. Stacy must not fight for once and for all if she is to stop the merciless onslaught of vicious beasts that has descended upon her tranquil Haven.
