In an alternate Atlanta where vampires and werewolves prowl the night, magic is real, and tattoo magic is the strongest magic of them all, a serial killer is targeting the magically tattooed on the full moon.

Dakota Frost, best magical tattooist in the Southeast, learns from the police she may be a target ... just when she receives a lucrative commission to ink a magic tattoo for a werewolf before the next full moon.

Caught between the rough and tumble world of the werewolves, the law and order rules of the vampires, and a sexy man-in-black whose motives are in doubt, Dakota must tread carefully to survive - because she doesn't know whether her werewolf client is the tattoo killer ... or the next victim.

Skindancer

The series

Full series details →

The Skindancer series is a series of urban fantasy books about Dakota Frost, a "skindancer" - a magical tattoo artist who can create tattoos that come to life.

Read full series description

In Dakota's world, magic, long suppressed by its own practicioners, burst out into the open when it was picked up by the counterculture movement of the 1960's.

Now, magic is alive in an alternative culture called the Edgeworld, and Edgeworlders like Dakota apply equal parts skepticism, magic and attitude to navigate the line where magic and reality meet.

Each book in the series highlights a new form of magic based on alternative culture practices like tattooing, graffiti or firespinning, and each highlights a new supernatural creature like werewolves, vampires and dragons.

The Skindancer series starts with Frost Moon, a period piece set in late 2006 in an Atlanta not entirely unlike our own...
