About the series
Welcome to The Blood Web
Dive into a fantasy world hidden among our own – a dark world full of vampires, witches, werewolves, fae, shifters, demons and mermaids. Co-authored by two established fantasy authors, Jacqueline Silvester and Natali Simmonds (N J Simmonds), The Blood Web series is sassy, sizzling, and perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, Cassandra Clare, and series like The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, and The Boys.
Saskia de la Cruz is a Verity Witch – her only magic being that she can tell the truth from a lie. As an investigative reporter for The Blood Web Chronicle, the biggest news outlet on the paranormal dark Blood Web, Saskia spends her days cracking twisted para cases hoping that someday, some case, will bring her closer to finding her missing sister.
Each book centres on a different European city, and a different paranormal crime, and the series is supported by a prequel novella set in LA and a Christmas Special in Lapland.
With vibrant characters, page-turning suspense and steamy romance, this new series has received high praise from internationally bestselling authors L R Lam, Anna Day, Alexandra Christo, Laura Wood, and Alice Broadway.

About Caedis Knight
About Caedis Knight
Established fantasy authors Jacqueline Silvester and Natali Simmonds joined forces when they learned readers were looking for steamy paranormal stories with more diversity, more sass, and set outside of the US. Between them, they have lived in ten countries and speak six languages fluently. The cities featured in the series are all cities they have lived in (except Lapland).
Jacqueline lives in London and is the author of YA fantasy trilogy, Wunderkids, and has her YA contemporary romance debut out with a Big 5 publisher in 2025. When not writing she’s a storytelling consultant who has worked with large names such as Netflix, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon as well as gaming and Web3 brands.
Natali lives in the Netherlands and has British/Spanish heritage and, along with writing, is a brand consultant and lecturer. Her fantasy trilogy, The Path Keeper (as N J Simmonds), was an RNA Fantasy award finalist, her debut thriller Good Girls Die Last (Headline) is being turned into a TV series by STV, and she also writes thrillers for Bookouture.
