Up for auction are 3 vampire novels by Barb & J. C. Hendee.
Dhampir
She hunts the ream's most dangerous game. Her fees are exorbitant. She's
worth every coin she receives. Or is she? Magiere has earned a reputation as
the most formidable vampire slayer in the land. Villagers far and wide
welcome her with both awe and disdain, grateful to her for ridding their
towns of the undead menace, but finding themselves made poorer for their
salvation. Magiere has always known she's dealing with simple folk who only
wish to have their superstitions silenced, and she's never seen anything
wrong with exploiting them for profit. Now, tired of the game, Magiere and
her partner, the half-elf Leesil, are ready to hang up their weapons and
settle down in a place they can finally call home. But their new found peace
will not last. For Magiere has come to the attention of a trio of powerful
and dangerous vampires who recognize her true identity - even if she does
not - and who fear the birthright that flows through her veins. And they
will stop at nothing to keep Magiere from fulfilling her destiny.

Thief of Lives
On the heels of Dhampir, Barb and J. C. Hendee's acclaimed Fantasy debut,
comes Thief of Lives, the new novel featuring Magiere and Leesil, Slayers of
the Undead. Magiere the dhampir thinks that her nights of hunting vampires
are over. After settling down in her newly adopted village of Miiska - now
vampire-free, thanks to her and her, Leesil - she looks forward to quiet
days tending to her tavern. But far away in the capital city of Bela, a
prominent councilman's daughter has been found dead on her own doorstep...
and all signs point to a vampire. Knowing that the battered and burned
village of Miiska could use an infusion of cash, Bela's town council offers
a generous bounty to the dhampir if she will slay their vampire. Magiere
resists, wanting nothing more than to forget her past and ignore her
half-vampire nature. Only Leesil can persuade Magiere to follow her
destiny - before more innocent lives are claimed by darkness.

Sister of Dead
The Noble Dead saga continues as Magiere and Leesil, the slayers of the
undead, embark on a quest to uncover the secrets of their mysterious
origins - and those responsible for orchestrating the events that brought
them together. Magiere is a dhampir - half human, half vampire - sired for
the purpose of slaying the undead. Outside the village of Chemestúk, where
she was born and raised, stands her father's keep. Within its walls, she
hopes to discover the secrets of her past and figure out why a vampire would
wish to breed a creature capable of slaughtering his own kind. But there are
those who don't want Magiere to learn the truth-and when Leesil, makes a
startling discovery in the keep, he can understand why. Before Leesil can
reveal the truth to Magiere, they must vanquish a creature of unimaginable
and unlimited power who has damned a small village of people with a
horrifying curse.
