Night Reins

Minoan Reins #1

by A.C. Mason

Vampire slayer Tazrein Noir willingly served humanity… until the pull of the night destroyed the one good thing she had left. Now she struggles between the power of light and darkness within her. And the dark may be winning.

Mr. Elson is a Minoan General—one of the immortal dynasty of Crete, now also head of security for Pseira Industries. Haunted by the sins of his father, he spends his entire life as a light for honor, justice and sacrifice. Yet without his fated mate, he’ll become all the things he fears…

Lordel Pseira is the ruler of the Minoans, as well as the very modern CEO of Pseira Industries. On the verge of succumbing to the darkness, without his light, he shall be lost…

Lordel’s light is Mr. Elson’s fated mate: Tazrein.

Deception, passion, and death hound Tazrein’s every move. The Minoans want her blood to unlock the key to save their dying race. The Knights of Mortis want her dead so she cannot fulfill destiny. And the vile Nox want her for themselves so they can rule over all.

Sacrifice and blood. Sex and love. Destiny and fate. The balance hangs in Tazrein’s hands…and in the eyes of the two men she fears she cannot live without, despite her continued existence hanging in the sweetly seductive balance between them both.

She is a multi-published, multi-award nominated Multicultural Romance and Mainstream fiction writer. Her work has been nominated for six Bookie Awards, two Swirl awards and The AMB Ovation Awards (The Angie) an inductee to the Academy of AA/IR/Multicultural Fellows Awards.

An early childhood diagnosis of dyslexia and dysgraphia should have been enough to dissuade her from the pen but her gifted intellect and need to escape the realities of the chaos bombarding her were too strong. She vanished into the alternate realities she created to slaying the very real threats she was helpless to stop. She lives with the chronic illness of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), while struggling her way through posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).



Born from the union of her Scottish and Belgian mother and an African American and Cherokee father, a.c. Mason’s youth was filled with dichotomies and moving from place to place. She developed a curiosity to explore through writing the seedy side of our nature and desires. Add to that her fascination with theology, politics, history, horror, and erotica. And voila, her distinct voice surfaced. Given her own diverse background, she writes stories that represent the world she grew up in. She enjoys delving into the realms of the unknown and blurring the caution lines. Her stories are the place where darkness meets human desire and fairy-tale endings are not promised but earned.

She is fluent in French and English. An avid traveler, she has stepped foot on most of Canada, both of the United States seaboards, England and Europe. For the past seventeen years of her life, she has worked with one foot in the past spanning from 18th century, the Bering Strait theory to modern day and now late Victorian, WWII and 1812 or protecting Canada’s natural landscape. She advocates the preservation of our natural and cultural riches for future generations. As mother of a child with ASD, she raises her pen, funds, and voice for awareness.
