The Immortals

The Immortal Brotherhood Book 1

by Alesha Escobar & H.M. Jones

Raina Black steals treasures from warlords, spies on governments and corporations, and sleeps like a baby at night. But after a particularly rough job where she inexplicably wakes up in a tomb in Cairo, things get weird.

First, Noah Mason, a man she swears she saw die, approaches her, claiming to be a demon hunter. Then, Noah insists she must fulfill her family legacy by helping him restore the Immortal Brotherhood...before all hell breaks loose.

But Raina wants no part of it. Going up against dark supernatural forces is above her pay grade. However, when the promise of a cure for her terminally ill sister hangs in the balance, Raina decides that the Immortal Brotherhood could solve her problems.

Meanwhile, Trixie must manage her new powers in Faerieland, help her friends flee the destructive ripples in time, and hold back the Faerie Queen's wrath.

The Unexpected Queen

The Immortal Brotherhood Book 4

Trixie Black never thought of herself as a princess, but when she inherits the throne to Faerieland, along with a marriage proposal from a dark fae prince, her life becomes a royal pain.

Not only does she have to deal with courtly politics, suspicions that she’s not queen material, and controlling her ever-growing magical powers, but there is also the matter of a pain-in-the-ass prophecy. It is foretold that she will unite with the Unseelie and become an evil tyrant. But she’s been there and done that with the villain thing, and she won’t go down that path again. Trixie must prove to the world that she’s changed.

Thankfully, her sister Raina always has her back, as does her aunt, Queen Gloriana. Life would be grand if most of the Immortal Brotherhood weren’t watching her every move, waiting for her to mess up so they can drive a stake through her heart—both literally and figuratively.

But Trixie is no helpless princess. She’s a fighter. She will fight for her throne, her loved ones, and even her very soul. She just has to disprove the prophecy, uncover the true intentions of the Unseelie Prince Thane who thinks he can just waltz into her palace and marry her, and go toe to toe with Arabella Larkin, the most formidable witch who’s ever lived. No biggy.

Trixie hmmed and picked at a scone. “So, you just want to see if they can be in the same room, unwarded, and not interact explosively? Should we be doing this in your fancy tea room? I didn’t even want to sit on your spotless butt pillow. What happens if the rings blow the place to smithereens?”



“The Characters Most Immortal to me in the Immortal Brotherhood Series”

H.M. Jones

Writing the Immortal Brotherhood series with Alesha Escobar has been so much fun. From the get-go, though, the best part of writing this series was getting to know the characters, all of whom have so much to offer. So, when Alesha asked me which my favorite character to write in the series was, it was a very hard choice.

Noah was the first P.O.V I wrote, so his cocky, quirky and confident character will always have a place in my heart. Raina is so badass that it’s always a riot writing her into and out of sticky situations. Trixie, our evil gone good fairy-queen-in-training, is so snarky that she almost won my vote. I loved writing her quick wit and unclassy slip-ups. As much as I enjoyed writing everyone, from our type-A Lady to ethereal and sweet Chinonso, my heart will always be with two characters. Sorry, I couldn't pick one because they wouldn’t be the same without the other. My favorite characters to write were, hands down, Thomas and Beverly.

Here, I’m going to let readers in on a secret. Beverly was an unplanned character! For those of you who’ve followed the series, this might come as a shock to you because Beverly’s actions were integral in at least two of the books in moving the story forward. Beverly came to me when Alesha introduced me to a picture of what the Immortal Brotherhood’s mansion might look like. I thought to myself–that place is probably haunted, but by a classy ghost. Then, I laughed to myself and thought, “What if it was haunted by a teen!” I myself am haunted by my own teen. Okay, that’s my daughter and she just lives in the house with me. But, teens are amusing and challenging and I thought it would be funny to test Lady’s patience with one, just as mine is tested, daily. All of a sudden, I had this picture of a sassy, bubble-gum popping perpetually 70’s style phantom rolling her eyes and saying, “I’m not a ghost. I’m a phantom!” And Beverly was born. Alesha went wild for her, and I immediately fell in love with writing her. Her personality, more than any, came to me effortlessly. Her impossible crush on Noah came with her personality–a straight, young woman, just out of her early teens who hangs out with a self-assured pretty boy will probably fall for him in the most embarrassing way.

The funny thing is that I fell in love with writing Thomas because I first wrote his character when he and Bev were in a chapter together–the first meeting wherein Raina learns about the Brotherhood. His personality, too, just clicked for me, but it was, as it often is, in relation to Bev. I thought, “I’d love to see Bev have sort of a father figure/uncle figure in Thomas.” And that’s where their relationship blossomed. Their first interaction I wrote was when Bev is reminding Thomas, not for the last time, where he keeps his notebook (almost always in his back pocket). Thomas, forgetful as ever, thanks her in his ditzy way. In a later interaction, he quietly suggests that Noah take Bev’s feelings into consideration, sticking up for her as though it is his job to protect her as she protects him. They instantly had such a loving, innocent give-and-take that they were just so fun to write. As a matter of fact, one of my favorite chapters to write was the ones in which they are vampire hunting. It really showcased their bond. I was smiling the entire time I wrote those scenes.

Without spoiling the final book for readers, I will say that Thomas is very broken in it, and I don’t think it’s 100% because of his time traveling. I think a lot of it has to do with how his bond with Bev is broken in the previous book. As much as Thomas feels he needs his Pippa, I think readers can agree that Thomas and Bev needed each other to thrive like they did. Their characters were such a pleasure to write. I found myself smiling, laughing and crying over them. They will probably always have a place in my heart, no matter how many characters I pen.
