In a long-anticipated new vampire series by Morgan Rice, #1 bestselling author of The Vampire Journals (1,500 five star reviews), 17 year old Taylor Night, exiled from her trailer park in Texas to a juvenile detention camp in the rainy Northwest, tries to understand her mysterious power while surviving on an island of misfits.

    These kids are all different, not normal somehow. And as Taylor herself goes through changes she doesn’t understand, she can’t help but wonder: is she different, too? 
    
    But when she finds herself having a crush on a mysterious boy, Taylor realizes he is not what he seems—and that her own destiny may be far greater than she imagined.
    
    But will their forbidden love take them both down for good?

    Fresh off of his victory over the galaxy's greatest and most ancient foes, the extra-dimensional dragons, the boy-king Richard is ready for a break. After all, even with cosmic powers that allow him to teleport anywhere in an instant or conjure up objects out of nothing, there's still only so much a fifteen-year-old kid from rural Ohio can take.  
    Now all he wants to do is enjoy life as the ruler of a galactic empire and spend time with his family, including his mysterious mentor, AAL, humanoid-fox mate, Amber, and their children, the amphibious Andreas, young satyr Zeus, and precocious half-fox twins Kit and Raider. 
    Unfortunately for Richard, other enemies, such as the power-hungry Spartacus family, wait in the wings. Even worse, tensions between humans and non-humans have reached the boiling point throughout the kingdom, and it won't take much to tip the galaxy into civil war. Richard will soon find that he's sitting on a powder keg—and the fuse is about to run out. 
    War Erupts is the thrilling fourth volume in the Richard series, a galaxy-spanning coming-of-age epic of romance, action, and adventure.
