Helsing: Demon Slayer (The Dragon's Paladins Book 1)

A shattered world. A relentless hunt. A collision of dark angelic forces.

Dianne Markham never asked to be part of a supernatural war. All she wanted was to survive a broken world and find something real. But when demonic forces strike her cruise ship as it docks in Split, Croatia, her pursuit of peace becomes a desperate, bloody fight for survival.

Enter Ryan Helsing.

A decorated Army Ranger with a past forged in fire, Ryan is battle-tested, emotionally scarred, and sworn to protect a hidden race of angel-blooded warriors. His orders were supposed to be simple: retrieve Dianne and escort her to a fortified sanctuary in the Albanian mountains.

Instead, it becomes a lethal race across a crumbling Europe. Hunted by forces both human and inhuman, Dianne and Ryan are drawn into a deadly web of ancient bloodlines, harmonic technology, and dark angelic forces.

As the unseen enemy closes in, Dianne realizes she carries secrets even she doesn’t understand—and she might be the key to the coming war. Ryan will risk everything to protect her, even if it means confronting the echoes of his haunted past and risking the very sanctuary he is sworn to defend.

Helsing: Demon Slayer is a pulse-pounding romantasy thriller. Whether you are returning to the overarching Elioud saga or stepping into the universe for the first time, this standalone road-escape delivers high-stakes action, visceral survival, and a fierce first strike against the dark.
