About the series
|
The Vampire Huntress Legend Series (VHLS) is a twelve book series written by Leslie Banks under the pseudonym L.A. Banks. The series centers around a young twenty-something year old woman named Damali Richards who is a spoken word artist as well as The Neteru, a human who is born every thousand years to fight the Dark Realms. Her most dangerous and most constant enemy from The Dark Realms are vampires.
The entire series is based on the never ending struggle between good and evil. The Vampire Huntress Legend Series is also about the strong bonds of love. Love that exists in the form of family love, friendship love, love of self, love for the world (environment) and the love between man and woman.
The series spans the original twelve books, four part comic sequel, six short stories and a spin off book trilogy that remains unfinished due to the death of Banks in 2011. Additionally, the official Vampire Huntress Legend website contained additional between-the-books content, official character art, bios, dossiers and more. Read more...
