The Saga of the Noble Dead is a series of six novels by Barb and J.C. Hendee. The series tells the story of Magiere, who is a dhampir (a vampire/human hybrid), and Leesil, who is a half-elf (an elf/human hybrid). Magiere is unaware of her ancestry, the discovery of which comes as a considerable shock. Leesil is only too aware of his, which is the reason he left home in the first place.

At the start of the story the two "half-breeds", together with Leesil's dog Chap, make a reasonable living pretending to be vampire-hunters. Eventually the inevitable happens and they cross paths with some genuine vampires. Hoisted by their own petard, they are plunged unwillingly into a dark battle and into their own dark purposes for being.

[edit] Second series

A second series is being planned, which is expected to incorporate new characters, including a significant new antagonist. The new series will be set a year after the previous series ended, and it is planned that it will consist of three books.^[1]
