Nia Markos
I write about Sidhe faeries, magic, daemons and shadows, quests and prophecies, with mythological elements in The Crystal Series.
And The Guardians of the Accords Series under the Elleanor Stone Collection builds on that world with new characters and adventures. Born in Montreal, Canada, to Greek parents who loved to indulge me with tales of mythology and history, I draw inspiration from their stories and combine them with my love of the paranormal. After graduating college in social sciences, I went to on to study history, one of my great passions, at university. At a crossroads in my life, the opportunity presented itself to enter the work force in something other than what I had foreseen. For over thirty years I worked in numerous fields within the financial sector. |
An avid, ferocious reader of practically anything written, be it historical, fantasy, thrillers or spy novels, my preferred reading has always been in the young adult paranormal genre. Writing is a passion, one which I discovered later in life.
My first book release, Elements (The Crystal Series Book One), has garnered great reviews. Three books later, the complete trilogy is available. The final installment of The Crystal Series, released in late 2017, brings a conclusion to that part of the story. Her new continuing series, The Elleanor Stone Collection, builds on that world, adding new characters and taking them on to greater adventures.

As a lead investigator, she works alongside her partners, a fourteenth-century vampire, and a long-lived Sidhe faerie. Brant Ankar, billionaire, and philanthropist, fathered by an Asgardian warrior, has only recently arrived in New York to open a sub-division of his company Ankar and Associates. Pleading for help, a woman from his past, one he despises, begs him to recover a lost artifact which may have dire consequences if it falls into the wrong hands. Elleanor has her own hands full when the murder of a young female werewolf leads her to believe the cause of death to be due to a vampire bite. Time is of the essence in solving the crime. Suspicion, hatred, between vampires and werewolves, runs deep. Having only recently halted their centuries-old war, finding out a vampire was responsible could cause a new conflict to erupt. From New York to Florence, Elleanor follows the clues to solve the young woman’s murder. The arrival of a past love, one she long thought dead, will have profound consequences, both to the case and to her personally. Sudden Shock sample |
