Ryan Attard

He specializes in the vile and vicious. But if he fails, no one will stop the onslaught of darkness…

Erik Ashendale sees himself as a hero. Desperate to distance himself from his terrible childhood and evil twin sister, the professional monster hunter just wants to do some good. So he buckles down when an angel whispers in his ear requesting protection for a succubus targeted by his sinister sibling.

Vowing to defend the girl who hasn’t discovered her demonic powers, Erik is peeved to learn he’s also supposed to deal with a freshly awakened ancient force. And now he’s about to unload all his badass skills at once for any hope of holding off an angelic blitz targeting Earth… and an attack by one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Can this wise-cracking beast-slayer save the world from a horde of Heaven-sent Hellions?

Firstborn is the electrifying opening tale in the Warlock Legacy urban fantasy series. If you like snarky protagonists, thrilling action, and fascinating worlds, then you’ll love Ryan Attard’s race against catastrophe.

Meet Erik Ashendale: Detective, Wizard, Monster Hunter. In a world where magic is very real and monsters hide in every dark alley, Erik keeps people safe by taking on anything that goes bump in the night.

Already embroiled in a war between Heaven and Hell, the last thing Erik needs is to babysit his apprentice, who seems intent on messing up so bad she’s bound to get herself killed. To make matters worse, the mysterious power he had awoken last time one of the Seven Deadly Sins attacked is making his own magic go awry.

So what’s a wizard to do? Head over to the ancient immortal — and possible avatar of God — Sun Tzu for a stiff drink… or maybe six.

While his apprentice is going through her trial, Erik delves into his own dark past, reliving his early days of training to be a warlock. From losing his magic to a phoenix, to planning murder with his demonic tutor, training under a magic monk, and being forced to duel for the sake of a family that abandoned him long ago, the last place Erik wants to visit is home…

Home, sweet psychotic home.

Meet Erik Ashendale: Detective, Wizard, Monster Hunter. In a world where magic is very real and monsters hide in every dark alley, Erik keeps people safe by taking on anything that goes bump in the night.

Erik has faced some terrifying foes during his career. From giant werewolves and crazed vampires, to conniving demons and warmongering angels, he’s nearly seen it all. But in all of his years, he never had to face anything like this: a video game infused with magic that’s drawing anyone with even a little power into a cult.
A cult that has also just stolen a device capable of tearing down the walls between dimensions.

When a new angel with some serious anger issues joins in, Erik finds himself fighting both enemies and allies in an effort to keep the world from collapsing as another dimension opens on top of ours.

The countdown to the apocalypse is on and unless he figures out how to stop it, Erik may find himself forever trapped in this new world while his home—and everyone he knows and loves—turns to oblivion…

Ever since coming back from the island, Erik Ashendale hasn’t been the same. Therapy doesn’t help, his relationship with the cops is strained at best, and his friends are worried he’s one bad day away from snapping.

Then, when things are at their worst, Erik is called to investigate a crime scene… One targeting him by name.

It’s a race against the clock for Erik to clear his name from the one of the foulest acts of magic—necromancy—and in order to do so he’s got to get dirt on his hands.

Graveyard dirt to be exact…

Love. War. Death . . . 

Erik Ashendale should be happy: he’s in a relationship with a sexy, dangerous witch, business is good, and he’s even gaining ground on the war on monsters. But he hasn’t taken into account Alan Greede: CEO, master of the dark arts, and current host of the Sin of Greed.

Now he's got more than he bargained for. There’s a race on to save a tribe of peaceful creatures that Greede intends to use as bioweapons; peace talks between powerful magic nations are turning chaotic; and Erik’s only just discovering that what Greede has in mind doesn’t put just our world at risk.

On top of all that, Abi’s estranged — and fully demonic — mother has returned, and brought with her more than just emotional baggage . . .
