The Diana Tregarde series, Prequel Novellas
Mercedes Lackey
Before Buffy ever staked out a vampire, before anyone was “Grimm,” before the “Supernatural” Winchester brothers locked horns with things that go bump in the night, there was Diana Tregarde.
Diana Tregarde. Occult investigator. Witch. And Guardian. Pledged to protect and shield the innocent from the deadly menaces of the Dark, the things most people have never seen--and would never want to. The things you think only live in your nightmares.
But you would be wrong.
If you’re unlucky enough, you’ll be DEAD wrong.
And if you are really, really unlucky...you’ll find out that there really are things worse than death.
Unless Diana finds you first.
But can Diana survive Harvard?
The prequel to Burning Water, Jinx High and Children of the Night, these are the very first Diana Tregarde Investigations. Diana goes to Harvard. Harvard has no idea what's coming.
Contains “Arcanum 101” which is also available in the Trio of Sorcery collection, and “Witching Hour” which can only be found in this ebook.
First published February 2018
Praise for the Diana Tregarde series:
“Mercedes Lackey’s work is as sharp – and as scary – as the suddenly revealed fang of a vampire. She’ll keep you up long past your bedtime.” — Stephen King
“Diana Tregarde is an intelligent and resourceful entrant in the [dark fantasy] field–with a most charming and unusual associate.” — C. J. Cherryh on Children of the Night
“A very enjoyable thriller with a sense of humor.” — Locus on Children of the Night
“[The heroine has] a wry, practical sense of humor. Further pluses include an almost complete lack of sexual stereotyping or politics. Anyone who likes their supernatural yarns laced with intelligence will find this novel more than satisfying.” — Dragon magazine on Burning Water
“The characters, love triangles, and action will hook the reader immediately. The plot weaves a magic spell of its own. This is a hard one to put down, and readers will clamor for the rest of the series.” — Booklist on Jinx High
