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...

-- INTRO: (!!! DO NOT RENAME THIS PAGE !!!)
-- This module allows any template or module to be copy/pasted between
-- wikis without any translation changes. All translation text is stored
-- in the global Data:*.tab pages on Commons, and used everywhere.
--
-- SEE: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multilingual_Templates_and_Modules
--
-- ATTENTION:
-- Please do NOT rename this module - it has to be identical on all wikis.
-- This code is maintained at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Module:TNT
-- Please do not modify it anywhere else, as it may get copied and override your changes.
-- Suggestions can be made at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Module_talk:TNT
--
-- DESCRIPTION:
-- The "msg" function uses a Commons dataset to translate a message
-- with a given key (e.g. source-table), plus optional arguments
-- to the wiki markup in the current content language.
-- Use lang=xx to set language. Example:
--
-- {{#invoke:TNT | msg
-- | I18n/Template:Graphs.tab <!-- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:I18n/Template:Graphs.tab -->
-- | source-table <!-- uses a translation message with id = "source-table" -->
-- | param1 }} <!-- optional parameter -->
--
--
-- The "doc" function will generate the <templatedata> parameter documentation for templates.
-- This way all template parameters can be stored and localized in a single Commons dataset.
-- NOTE: "doc" assumes that all documentation is located in Data:Templatedata/* on Commons.
--
-- {{#invoke:TNT | doc | Graph:Lines }}
-- uses https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Templatedata/Graph:Lines.tab
-- if the current page is Template:Graph:Lines/doc
--
