The Uruwashi Series (1-3) ~ Christina Moore [BluA]epub

Beautiful Death
His life is in a monster’s hands but he may be one himself.

The only thing about Tristan’s typical American life that’d been even slightly atypical was that he was adopted. The Blum’s raised him, loved him as if he was their own. But they never knew who Tristan really was, about the stigma his birth surname carried. Everything changed after their untimely death. Suddenly monsters are after Tristan and all because of a few words spoken by a remarkable stranger.

After carelessly stumbling into the arms of the enemy’s servant, a rotting jikininki, the one silently watching over Tristan is forced to intercede. Ash claims to be a hunter, but that’s not the whole truth. Whatever Ash is or isn’t, it’s neither good nor evil. And Ash is the only one who can save Tristan now. But can someone who can’t even accept the unwavering truth that maybe they never were really human to start with be saved?


Bete Noire
Revenge is a fire that burns everything down.

Tristan Blum may be the last Uruwashi, but neither he nor his ambiguous vampire companion, Ash, knows exactly what that means. One thing is clear though, that he’s responsible for keeping the living safe from the dead. So when ancient Master vampire Yukihime comes to Tristan with news of a rogue vampire developing the dangerous gift of fire, he can’t ignore it. To complicate things, the vampire they hunt is one Ash has a very intimate past with, leaving Tristan questioning her true feelings.

The tempestuous couple track their target to France where they encounter faerie, kitsune, and a vampire even older than self-proclaimed “oldest of them all” Yukihime. Not all of the new contacts are willing to help or on the side of good. Just when he needs Ash the most, Tristan fears that she’s pulling away. At his darkest hour, trapped in an abandoned dungeon and close to death, Tristan wonders who he can trust in his new obscure world and if the flames of a single vampire’s wrath will destroy everything.


Moon Child
A sabbatical to Ash’s homeland of Greece, to the very place she was born and died in, turns into a rescue mission when trouble inevitably catches up with the vampire-Uruwashi couple. Except this time, trouble is in the form of a vampire who isn’t after Tristan. Unable to stop the Master vampire from taking Ash and left for dead, Tristan awakens to find an unlikely couple has taken him in. Their interest has more to do with Tristan’s future rather than Ash’s and they insist upon his devoted assistance.

Refusing, Tristan rebels against his keepers. A spell meant to keep him in check misfires and nearly kills him only to transmute into his salvation as chance drops just the person he needs into his life. With the help of his new friend and an unexpected vampire ally, Tristan rushes to find Ash before her mind is broken by three centuries of accumulated despair. Only, there is more than an insane Master vampire impeding the path to deliverance as old secrets come to light.

Fate is fickle, yet remains immutable and true. Tristan’s path may meander but the way cannot be lost now. But the price of straying may prove too costly for Tristan and those close to him.
