Crossing Acheron is in Beta!

Hello, lovelies! If you’re here, you know I’m HG Birde, otherwise known as Mercury, and likely that I’ve written the MM dark fantasy novel, Crossing Acheron. Crossing Acheron is the first book in my LGBT+ dark fantasy series, Kin & Kine. It features MM enemies-to-lovers, slow burn over high heat, promiscuous vampires and Machiavellian royalty, dragon-shifters, werewolves, and witches.

Malachy Donovan was born human. But after waking up in a pool of his own blood, he knew the fact that once felt so certain had been changed forever. 

Freed from imprisonment by a man named Acheron and his elite unit of bodyguards, Malachy learns the truth of his condition: he is a dhampir, a rare and powerful creature born half-human, half-vampire. Presented with an inescapable choice, he must submit to a blood bond with the vampire Prince—the very same man who rescued him from captivity—or be hunted down by the armies at his command.

Caught in a war between the prestigious vampire High Clans and the vampire anarchists who abducted him, Malachy finds himself at a crossroads: should he fight to retain his humanity among the creatures who would see him become a monster? Or give in to the growing attraction he has for the beautiful yet manipulative Acheron…and the dark allure of the underworld Acheron would do anything to protect?


I am so excited to be starting this journey with you. Crossing Acheron is completely written and all things permitting should be coming early next year. I’ll be looking for beta readers VERY soon, so if you’re interested, join my Facebook group: HG Birde’s Nest, or (and?) sign up for my newsletter (which also gets you an early look at the entire first chapter)! These are the best ways to stay up to date on my progress and where I will be announcing preorders!

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.
