Synopsis

They Are The Elite From The Sixth

In the heart of Los Angeles, the city of angels, evil looms. On Skid Row, The Cyclades Hotel, is a refuge for the city's most vulnerable, a new beginning awaits those who are lucky enough to get a room. But a series of violent murders has left the residents and the homeless community on Skid Row living in fear, and no one is safe. Rumours abound of ghosts and the curse that plagues the hotel, with its history that is steeped with famous murders and suicides.
Father O'Hara, the compassionate priest who runs the hotel, is desperate. He fears that if these attacks continue, the new residents will refuse to stay in their new homes and will be forced back onto the unforgiving streets.
Demis, a disillusioned academic philosopher with the ability to read minds and see souls, senses the priest's anguish, and so calls upon his officers, an ancient order of vampire warriors, the Tempus Militibus, led by the enigmatic Luca Meridian, but the Tempus Militibus are not your typical vampires. They are elite guardians of the Fourth dimension and are tasked with protecting the mortals who inhabit it from the unseen forces of darkness. As Luca and his team delve into the mystery surrounding the Cyclades Hotel, they uncover a sinister plot that goes beyond just a mere haunting.
The deeper they investigate, the more they realize that there is a malevolent force, with an agenda that threatens not just the hotel, and with time running out, Luca and the Tempus Militibus must navigate a labyrinth of danger and deception to stop the attacks and reveal the true nature of what lurks around each corner.
The Tempus Militibus must battle not only the dregs, but their own personal demons, as this investigation comes at a high, personal price for one of them, the fierce Viking Jarl, a price that could cost him dearly, as he battles with his desire for the young nun, Sister Angelica, a woman forbidden to him by her faith and his code.
Tempus Militibus is the first book in the sensational new fantasy series, a gripping blend of crime and fantasy, where the boundaries between the living and the supernatural blur. Join General Luca Meridian, Jarl Lanny Lancnut, Berserker Bjorn Azelason and Praetorian Peo Satimus, the panigale riding, vampire warriors as they battle to save the mortal realm from a dark force that has laid claim to the most notorious hotel ever to open its doors.
