He's a human in a vampire's world, but she's the reason he's not sleeping at night.
In Shadows and Gold, driving a truck full of rotting vegetables and twenty million in gold across mainland China wasn't what Ben Vecchio had in mind for summer vacation. If he can keep Tenzin's treasure safe, the reward will be worth the effort. But when has travel with a five-thousand-year-old wind vampire ever been simple?
In Imitation and Alchemy, all Ben wanted was a quiet summer before his last semester of university. All Tenzin wanted was a cache of priceless medieval coins that had been missing for several hundred years. And some company.
In Omens and Artifacts, Ben needs a job. A legendary job. Finding the lost sword of Brennus the Celt would make his reputation in the vampire world, but it could also draw dangerous attention. The Raven King's gold isn't famous for being easy to find. Luckily, Ben has his own legend at his side.
OBSIDIAN'S EDGE is an anthology of previously published novellas in the Elemental Legacy series by Elizabeth Hunter, USA Today Bestselling Author of Midnight Labyrinth, Blood Apprentice, and other works of fiction.

Wonderful collection of Elemental Legacy adventures
I love these novellas, and I’m so excited they’re finally all in one convenient collection! If you are a fan of Elizabeth Hunter’s Elemental Legacy series, and you haven’t yet read Ben and Tenzin’s novellas, you definitely don’t want to miss out on these excellent mini adventures! Shadows & Gold, Imitation & Alchemy, and Omens & Artifacts are all lovely windows into the building of the foundation of Ben and Tenzin’s partnership - and relationship - in the Elemental Legacy novels. There’s also a whole cast of secondary characters I suspect we’ll be seeing again in the later full novels! Find out how Ben and Tenzin made their friends, and enemies, before they ever made it to New York. And who came up with the treasure-hunting idea, anyways? Plus, there’s lots of quality banter and heist shenanigans - as well some stunningly sweet moments to balance things out. I will say that these stories lean more towards character backstory and character building than Heavy Plot, but I can promise, if you are a fan of the Elemental series, that you will enjoy them. I want to give a separate mention for The Bronze Blade, the fourth novella in the collection. Tenzin’s origin story is something I personally love - but it is not a happy story, though she comes out of it fierce and fighting in the end. It’s a powerful story of survival. It was also, for me, a difficult read the first time around; my content warning for readers is that there is both violence and sexual assault. But, I want to stress that the telling of her story is done well, and is in many ways a story for all the girls who survived. On a lighter note - It also does help provide context for a number of Tenzin’s actions in some of the full novels! So I do fully recommend it - just maybe grab some tissues. Overall, I am thrilled to have this collection, and definitely recommend it.
Another fantastic book by EH!
Another amazing book by Elizabeth Hunter! Her characters, pacing and plot lines are flawless! I couldn't put it down. Sucked in from the start and enjoyed every second of the journey! Thank you EH!! I don't know how you manage to keep creating such fabulous reads but sooo grateful you do!!
As always , another great read!
I’ve loved this series for a very long time. I picked this one up and now I’ve realized what I needed in my life. Gonna go pick up the next book to keep my rekindled addiction in check. My family is already realizing I’m gonna get lost in my books again.
No one does it better!
Great writing, no one builds characters and worlds better than Elizabeth Hunter! Highly recommended for anyone who likes a GOOD vampire series. Intelligent and imaginative entertainment.
A must read
I do believe that this series will become a series that i will read and read and read and never get tired of them.

Benzin!
This is one of highly anticipated books in this series. Absolutely love these characters. Treat yourself and read them all. You will not be disappointed!
All of the novellas in one place!
If you have read all of the novellas for the Ben and Tenzin Elemental Legacy series than this is nothing new, but having all of these stories in one place is! Plus it’s quite a savings! And if you have held off on the Bronze Blade thinking you aren’t sure you want to read it because it’s dark, it’s simply a MUST for those Tenzin fans. No one can ever truly understand Tenzin, but this book is essential in moving forward with this series, as each one of these novellas are, before moving ahead with the full novels in the series. Plus....that COVER! Its gorgeous! And as soon as it’s out in paperback I’ll own that too!
