Cedric: The Demonic Knight

Valerie Willis

“Watch your words, witch.” His grin was wide and Angeline caught a glimpse of his fangs as they crept from under his lips. As his animalistic stare caught her in it, sweat dripped down his temple. “Cursing a demon can be costly I hear. I have heard there’s a hellish recoil for attempting to curse other magical beings. You might regret saying that later, pet.”

“What do you know about magic?” Hissing at him as she pushed her items into her pack again, she watched as his smile dropped. “You’re an animal that crawls about this earth devouring other creatures and lack any grace needed for magic.”

“Shut your mouth.” The tone of his voice was dark. She’d struck a nerve and his jaw muscles flexed. “You know nothing about magic or what it is capable of doing to a person, regardless if they are demon or human. Do not speak to me about magic..."

About the Author

A Summary of Fantastical Adventures

Valerie Willis is an expert digital typesetter, and a fantasy romance author based out of Central Florida. When writing, she loves crafting novels with elements inspired by mythology, legends, folklore, fairy tales, and history. As a Founder, she oversees the design of all books including covers, typesets, and author branding where she pulls in creative print design while making versatile eBooks.

You can find her hosting workshops or attending as a guest speaker at many events (MegaCon, DragonCon, OCLS Writers Conference, Florida Writers Conference, SavvyAuthors, Women in Publishing Summit, etc.). She’s been on panels with best-selling authors from Peter David to Delilah Dawson sharing her expertise in writing, research, worldbuilding, character development, book design, reader immersion, and more. You can also find her co-hosting on the Drinking with Authors Podcast speaking with Jonathan Maberry, Heather Graham, Charles Gannon, and many more on their own journeys as an author! Or talking about the spooky stuff over on Eerie Travels with topics such as big foots, mermaids, and even Bloody Mary!

Her award-winning dark fantasy paranormal romance, The Cedric Series, is a blend of genres that appeals to a wide range of readers who describe it as “dramatic, lustful, and fantasy fulfilling.” The motto here is: “No immortal is beyond the ailments of man” that includes powerful creatures, demons, witches, and deities! Many of the monsters are derived from Medieval Bestiaries adding a fun flavor of new yet deeply-rooted assortment such as Coin Iotair, Shag Foal, Cynocephali, and more.

Like many authors, her writing journey started in grade school and carried her through high school. Many who grew up with her talk often of the traveling binders that were often kept safe in their lockers. This was the precursor to the now complete young adult dark urban fantasy of the Tattooed Angels Trilogy starting with Rebirth. This alternative historic piece about immortals and a failed reincarnation Hotan covers a wide variety of life lessons such as whether to follow your own lifepath or the one chosen for you, breaking toxic traditions, and the obligations of cleaning up our family’s mistakes and destruction. Inspired by her own life tribulations, it has been the beacon to keep her moving toward the world of books and writing even now.

For readers of fantasy MM romance, check out her pen name V.C. Willis with the Traibon Family Saga starting with books The Prince’s Priest and The Priest’s Assassin. If you are looking for steamy paranormal erotica, chase down Urban Legends and modern retellings of fairy tales with Honey Cummings. Many have found themselves laughing out loud and fanning themselves while reading Sleeping with Sasquatch and Wanton Woman in White.

Nothing is more rewarding for her than making fellow author’s dreams come to life in physical format so they may share them with readers. Designing and writing books has been a longtime passion since childhood of hers and she continues to inspire and encourage authors around the world whenever possible, indulging whenever she can to chat about the books folks are reading and writing.

“Life is a war in which we face battle after battle. They all serve the purpose to remind us we can still bleed and feel, that we still breathe and thrive, even if it’s just for one more day, hour, or minute.”

“How many teeth did you knock out of their mouths to keep your freedom?” Badbh smiled and an excitement sparkled in her eyes.

“Not enough. Changed my name, changed towns, left a trail of blood only to walk into the…” He hesitated before snorting, “… well, the Lion’s Den with you all.”
