The award-winning beast hunting adventure begins here…

… and takes new heights here …

… and comes to a thrilling conclusion here!

The epic series The Beast Hunter of Ashbourn kicks off with the award-winning book "The Beast Hunters," where Ara, a young woman, loses her parents she is saved by two beast hunters. Becoming their apprentice, she discovers serums, secret bestiary knowledge, and remarkable abilities-all to save unsuspecting souls from the same fate her parents suffered. But, terrifying creatures lurk everywhere and Ara must master the art of beast hunting quickly if she is to uncover the elusive beast plaguing the village of Cornstead.

The second book in the series, The Beast Hunters Dark Sovereign, increases the scope of the story, and thereby the stakes, with a mysterious corpse, beastly assassins, and a basement full of cadavers dissolving in acid. The beast hunters are led towards an enigmatic candidate, favourite to claim the throne of Ashbourn.

The final installment in the series, The Beast Hunter Blood Oath, picks up where the prequel ended, where a new king reigns over Ashbourn, plunging the city into despair as his dark power turns citizens into mindless fanatics, whose only purpose is to spread his plague to every soul in the city. This epic series will grab you by the head and hold on until you've experienced everything it has to offer: found family, endless new monsters and creatures, action, mysteries, love, friendships, deception, betrayal - everything that belongs in an epic fantasy series.

Reviews

“A dark,and action-filled creep-fest! Weird monsters from I don't know where! A entertaining read for action-fans!” - Maurice Jones

“A quick and enjoyable read. It was interesting enough for me to get lost in the story, which was short enough to actually manage the escape from my reality without interruption.”

About Christer Lende

Christer Lende began writing in a library, which sounds fitting, only he was supposed to be there working on his engineering degree. He lives in what Norwegians call a city, but people from actual cities would call a town. Of proud Viking blood, he honours his ancestors by heroically sitting in front of a computer writing Fantasy and Science Fiction books. He believes in writing a little bit every day, through weekends, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, even his own birthday. When he’s not writing, he
takes care of his two dogs and tries to broker peace with his girlfriend. He’s often found at a gym, trying to compensate for his height issues, or lazily playing video games.

Christer did get that master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, despite procrastinating by writing fiction in the library, and works for a large IT firm, but writing and storytelling are his passions.
