About
the Author
Heather Fleener lives in Indiana with her husband, D.A. and
their twins, Thomas and Alexandra. Professionally she has spent her career
working in the area of Intellectual Property law. Reading has been a passion of
hers since she was young and she has adored romance novels her entire life. The
romantic styles of Judith McNaught and Julie Garwood are her inspiration,
though she has read and loved the stories of countless other authors. Her
fascination with the paranormal began to form at the young age of six, watching
late-night ghost and vampire movies with her Grandpa. Unfortunately, as a
result, she also remains afraid of the dark to this day. Combining her love of
epic romances and the supernatural was a natural progression for her overactive
imagination. When the idea for the Ancients of Light series began, it was an
abstract story line rambling around in her head to help kill a few miles on the
treadmill. As the stories and plotlines continued to grow, it finally became
necessary to put the words to paper and build the characters that had been
living in the Realm and having conversations in her head for months. The series
is a testament to many miles on the treadmill and lots of characters that
insist on having their stories told.

Welcome
to the Realm
Man’s fall from grace sparked the birth of the Dark
creatures from the underworld. To counter the explicit threat to mankind,
divinely-created immortals were brought forth. The Witch encompassed seven
Castes of power; their magic was most effective against the nefarious agenda
pursued by the evil The war has raged since the beginning of human history.
Ancients of Light is the series detailing the stories of the immortals that
will fulfill an arcane prophecy and bring about the conclusion of the
supernatural conflict.
About
the Ancients of Light series
Chosen is the first in the thirteen books of the Ancients
of Light series and is only the beginning of a young Witch’s journey toward
developing both the strength of character and magic that will be required to
fulfill her prophesied role as leader of the Light faction. Revelations of
nuances in the Prophecy - facets that were never fully comprehended by the
Ancients - will continue in successive stories. The culmination of its true
meaning in the destiny of the supernatural world of the Realm will only be
revealed when Kaitriana is adequately prepared to lead the Warriors now being
called together to champion the Light’s purpose. Familiar characters return for
each storyline as the focus turns to a new key couple in every book - a pair
that significantly factors into the purpose of Light – however, the story of
the Chosen does not end with Book #1. Kaitriana and Lorcan, their growth
together as partners in leadership and in love as a couple, will thread through
the series as Kaitriana assumes the role that was destined as hers since the beginning.

the beginning...there were Vampire
Man’s fall from grace sparked the birth of the Dark
creatures from the underworld. To counter the explicit threat to mankind, divinely-created
immortals were brought forth. The Witch against the nefarious agenda pursued by
the evil ones.
She
is Chosen
Kaitriana’s gift of magic is unrivaled. A descendant of the
most powerful Ancient in existence, her birth was foretold ages before her
time. Destined to lead the Witch faction, she is betrayed by her own kind,
destroying her birthright and all hope of delivering the Realm from the
sinister shadow of the Ancient Dark.
He
is the Key
Lorcan is a mighty warlord in the Vampire species. His
animosity towards the magical immortals is personal - his mother was their
Queen. Having long since severed all ties with his former treachery and a
secret that threatens to be his downfall.
They
are the Prophecy
An arcane prophecy from the time of the Ancients proclaims
that only two in all of creation can bring peace to the Realm. When Kaitriana
miraculously appears seeking his protection, Lorcan must forsake his duty and
disregard the dictates of his breed to shelter the female. Together they must
combat the Ancient Dark and surmount the forces within their own factions that
would oppose the Prophecy. Their fates have always been entwined and only when
joined can they triumph over a blood feud that has shadowed the Light for
millennia.
Forsaken
The
Prophecy Will Be Fulfilled
Ancients were created in the beginning of the age of man.
The Vampire were birthed by the underworld after mankind’s fall from grace to
destroy what remained of God’s people. This threat to Creation was countered
with divinely-breathed immortals. The Witch were most effective against the
nefarious agenda pursued by the evil ones. An arcane Prophecy proclaims that
the divine purpose of the Ancients of Light will be fulfilled, beginning with
the rise of the Chosen. Now the Queens will join her...
Fire
is her Destiny
Ella long ago determined she would not live a life where
magic defined her. Feeling no kinship with her Caste, she walked away from the
Realm and its conflicts. She found acceptance and fulfillment in her life
amongst the mortals and is on the brink of achieving her dreams.
Darkness
is His Curse
Nicholas is the most revered warrior in the Darks’ army.
His personal animosity towards the Light drives his existence and draws him to
the one Witch he is set on controlling. Nicholas knows the reasons that Ella
never found acceptance within the Fire Caste of Witch and he will use that
knowledge to pursue his Dark agenda.
When
Light and Dark Collide
Despite her origins, Nicholas discovers more in Ella than
just a powerful Fire Witch, leading him beyond the Dark evil that has plagued
him for eight centuries. Ella disregards the inherent calling of her breed for
the only true belonging she has ever experienced, the love she finds with her
Dark Vampire. The beginning of the very Prophecy that will save the Light tears
the pair apart and the fallout threatens their existence. When two of the most
powerful immortals on opposite sides of Realm collide in divinely-inspired
fate, neither will escape unscathed. Only when the Forsaken finds grace will
Ella and Nicholas be able to fulfill the destiny that has always been meant for
them.
Broken
The
Light’s Duty to Protect
A war over the fate of mankind sparked the creation of the
Ancients - Light and Dark - one divinely-created guardians, the other
hell-spawned killers. The conflict raged within the Realm for millennia,
neither faction triumphant in its purpose. In recent history the Darks have
adopted a more surreptitious path - the boom of technology allowing the Dark
One to insinuate himself into the midst of those he would most like to destroy.
Tragic consequences result when the Ancients of Light pursue the Darkness into
the Outer Realm. The Prophecy continues...
Darkness
Claimed Her Soul
The adversity of Kylie’s youth forged an indomitable
spirit. A vibrant and strong woman determined to plot the course of her life with
room for nothing beyond the next measure of success, Kylie believed in only
herself, and most certainly neither destiny nor love. All those tenants were
derailed with a single encounter, but the same man that tempted her to live
again drew her into the middle of an aged war, the consequence being her own
destruction, plummeting her into a hellish existence.
A
Warrior Haunted by His Failure
Sayer’s mission was only to foil the latest plan of the
Darks in the Outer Realm and return a few Vampire to Hell. Finding a perfect
mortal that tempted him beyond all reason was an unforeseen complication. Just
when Sayer realizes that his eternity is meant for one alone, Kylie is
destroyed and the loss drives him to the pits of despair, revealing events of
the past that would best
Tragedy
will Reveal Those of Divine Purpose
Sayer’s appearance in her life was the catalyst to
fulfilling a destiny that existed since Kylie’s creation. Their fate thwarted
by Darkness, both shattered by tragedy, Kylie and Sayer must return to the love
that once was while finding absolution or perish apart. Only once all that was
broken is returned to unblemished will God’s own Warriors rise. The beginning
