Seven Sons

Something older than the city moves through it after dark, and it has been waiting a long time to be noticed. Seven Sons is a shared world of modern supernatural fantasy — a present-day earth where hunters, immortals, shifters, and the courts of the fae pass unseen through ordinary streets, and where old bloodlines and older bargains decide who lives to see morning. It is built the way many of these worlds are: one hand lays the ground and several more raise the walls. L. A. Starkey anchors it with The Immortal Huntress, and writers including Michael Anderle, K. A. Faul, Kelly Hall, and D. B. Nielsen carry the story outward into linked series — werewolves running under a bad moon, a blade sworn to the fae, an emerald assassin, a golden claw, whispers of a gathering dark. Each series follows its own protagonist and stands on its own feet, yet all of them share one long night and a rising threat that draws the threads together. The pace is brisk, the danger romantic, the magic worn close to the skin. Newcomers should start with The Immortal Huntress and follow the world outward from there in publication order.
