EYE OF THE STORM SERIES
AND RELATED NOVELS
​by Dianna Hardy
IMPORTANT NOTE
Although this series deals with romance, it is not written to be a standard romance. Its focus is on the theme of man vs. beast, and higher consciousness vs. baser needs. Although humorous in places, this series is also sexually explicit, dark, and contains violence and scenes that may disturb some readers.

Reading Order:

  1. Eye of the Storm series (six books)
  2. Blood Never Lies (duet - two books)
  3. After the Storm (Four Eye of the Storm Novelettes)
  4. New Reign: Eye of the Storm Legacy (new series to come)
Werewolves living in the Surrey Hills come face-to-face with family secrets, ancient mythology, and monsters - both human and created - that want them extinct. Humorous and highly erotic in places, this is dark paranormal fantasy, not for the faint of heart.

Releasing the Wolf

Lydia Martin has always had dreams of a sexy, muscle-bound man who speaks like sin and smells like sex. She blames her overactive imagination, coupled with a higher than average libido. But one night, she finds him in her dream, chained to a wall and screaming in pain. What unfolds is beyond even her wildest imaginings, as she's sucked into a dangerous and deadly world she never knew existed...

In December 2012, Releasing The Wolf hit the Kindle Paranormal Fantasy [paid for] charts in both the US and the UK, where it stayed for three months, enjoying a highest ranking of #20. It is now offered for FREE as a series starter across most eBook platform.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
​"Hardy has a very up front, no shit, take it or leave it and very unapologetic style of writing – which I love! She takes her characters to the brink because that's where they need to go....and not because she thinks that's the direction that would best please the reader."
Carly at Fiction Fascination, for Heart of the Wolf

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Dianna knows how to take words and wrap them around your heart. She will have you crying one minute and laughing the next. Oh and once in a while she will have you cussing out some of the characters and wanting to beat the s**t out of them."

Picture
In the immediate months and years following the biggest storm of their lives, Lydia, Lawrence, Ryan, and Taylor find themselves overwhelmed with joy and grief alike. Deep healing is needed from the traumatic events they endured, for with the future they are entering, new challenges will come knocking: Lydia faces her greatest fears; Taylor revisits his past one last time; Ryan comes to terms with the chaos in his mind; and Lawrence has one hell of a task ahead of him as Alpha and king to a species barely hanging on by a thread.

Extinction is a hard-edged coin, the four mates on one side of it; their children on the other. The storm has finally passed, but the future has never been more uncertain.
