THE HARPY

Charity Blake survived a nightmare. Now she is the monster others dream about.

By day, punk-rock runaway Charity Blake struggles through a stream of dead-end jobs and the haunting memories of her past. But at night she is the Harpy, sprouting wings with black feathers, and claws made for tearing the flesh of her prey. 

Having survived a lifetime of abuse and torment from a sadistic man who broke her spirit, Charity’s physical manifestation of her grief and anger allows her to hunt down those like her abuser. Only this time, Charity isn’t a helpless little girl praying for things to end. Now she is the monster, and hell hath no fury like a harpy scorned.

Power always comes at a price though, and Charity’s inner predator craves to take over. Torn between a life with no feeling other than the sweet satisfaction at ripping evil apart or suffering through her days to stay with the two people she cares for most, Charity must choose between her human existence or the wild and feral freedom of a flying avenger.

THE HARPY is the first book in the chilling and deeply disturbing world of the Harpyverse where victims become vigilantes and power is a thing to be played with.


 

THE HARPY 2: EVOLUTION

Charity Blake became a nightmare. But there are far more dangerous monsters out there than her.

Train-wreck antihero Charity Blake thrives at being a winged avenger, but exacting vengeance takes as much from her as it gives. To retain the humanity she’s fought tooth and claw to keep, she tries to walk away from her monstrous side for good.

With no sense of purpose and a lifetime of failures haunting her, Charity struggles not to fall back into old, murderous habits. Until she meets a little girl who is more broken than herself. Rose presents a new direction for Charity. One where they can combine their carnal abilities to rewrite a horrendous history of wrongs that have impacted so many like themselves.

While Charity revels in the idea of following a new path, Rose drowns in her own power as she tries to piece together parts of her life her mind has buried deep. As Rose unearths hidden truths about her past, her catastrophic abilities spiral out of control, threatening everyone’s future. Overcome with debilitating grief and a world-altering rage, Rose becomes a danger beyond anyone’s control. A colossal threat that Charity must stop.

THE HARPY 2: EVOLUTION is the second book in the twisted and unsettling world of the Harpyverse, where victims become villains, and power is a thing to be picked apart. 


 

THE HARPY 3: DAMNATION

Charity Blake helped create a nightmare. Now she is the only one who can stop it.

Charity’s half-baked, though valiant, attempt to save Rose from herself failed on a colossal level. Now she’s alone again, shunned by the other Harpies and determined to leave her bloody past behind. Though she aches for the safety of an ordinary life, she struggles to fit into the monotony of one. And just when her insipid routine threatens to plunge her back into bad habits—bad habits come looking for her. 

Rose has been stewing in her righteous rage—and becoming infinitely more powerful. Armed with damaged, loyal followers, now she’s determined to unleash her fury upon the world with apocalyptic consequences. Only one punk-rock trainwreck stands in her way.

Charity never claimed to be a hero, but when Rose literally raises Hell on Earth, “Regular Charity” must take charge of the battle to fight for a world that has failed her at every step. But facing Rose isn't easy, and her love for the tormented girl forces Charity to decide which world she'd rather be part of once and for all.

THE HARPY 3: DAMNATION is the third and final book in the dark and demented world of the Harpyverse, where the line between victim and villain is blurred, and power can destroy everything.
