Half-Blood's Birthright (Urban Arcanology) Paperback – May 8, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
At the Trial of Ares, I found a lead that could save my life. An ancient tome believed to belong to the most infamous Druid in history. Notoriously secretive, the order of the Druids passes their secrets from parent to child, by word of mouth. This tome might be the only record of their rites and blood magic, ever written.
It’s the best chance I have of curing my curse.
Unfortunately, it’s in the possession of a notorious witch, Kasey Chase. She fancies herself the hero of New York City, so I doubt she’ll part with such a dangerous relic voluntarily. Particularly with an army of vampires stalking the city’s streets.
Good thing I wasn’t planning on asking.
Join Seth in Half-Blood’s Birthright, an action-packed urban fantasy adventure set in the heart of New York City.

Mr. Stokes takes you on a wild ride through New York City battling the worst nightmare that could ever happen. Good thing Seth has his friends to help him. They save his life more than once. Plus, Kasey is here to add her support as they all battle vampires and Rhain, King of the Feudal Court who turns Madison Square Gardens into a literal bloodbath. But that’s not the end of his fight. He also faces the Winter Sidhe to save his betrothed, Lara, and his friend Dizzy. But he suffers a major injury which may leave his arm permanently damaged. Only time will tell. But wait! There’s more to come in the next adventure of Seth and his search for a cure to his birthright. Let’s hope this next one sticks.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2022Samuel Stokes – Urban Arcanology Bk4 – Half-Blood’s Birthright – Reviewed 2/7/22 – Read 2/2-3/22
When Seth was at the Trial of Ares, he found a lead that might cure the Caldwell curse. Now he needed to do two things after delivering the katana to Sakura, Tadashii’s daughter: first, get to New York City and find Kasey Chase, and second, help with the Vampire attack on New York City. He thought this would be easy until they touched down at the private airstrip and Vampires attacked the plane. Seth, Murdock, Lara, and Dizzy were unsure how they would make it out of this one alive. The hanger and plane were damaged, the attackers seemed to be coming out of the woodwork. Seth decided to get their own help; he told Murdock to see if the Brotherhood had any men in the area that could help them out.
It was not a call he wanted to make, but they did not have much choice and knew that the help would come at a price. When the help arrived, together they fought off the vampires, and then they were loaded into the SUV’s and off they went to see the head of the Brotherhood, and the story begins.
Join Seth, Lara, Murdock, and Dizzy as they join forces with Kasey in the fight with the vampires and hopefully a significant lead to stopping the curse…
What did I like? Sam Stoke has the gift of crafting the most exciting books in his fingers as they dance over his keyboard. From the Kingdom in Chaos to Conjuring a Coroner to this Half-Blood series, Sam has never missed a step in keeping the tension high, the characters extraordinary, and the books coming.
What will you like? Another exciting and mysterious chapter in Seth Caldwell’s life. The action is swift, dangerous, and needs to be done. The city of New York depends on the group's action, and Seth knows that he has to help, even if the lead to his curse is not helpful. Don’t miss this fantastic new chapter in the Half-Blood series with Samuel Stokes’s newest book, “Half-Blood’s Birthright,” available NOW!!!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2022Well, finely a cure for the family curse? Maybe or maybe not quite. In some ways this was a repeat from Kasey’s journey. Some of the repeated scenes were burned in my mind but from Seth point of view. He struggled a bit more with his vulnerability to not only the curse but the journey this time and is just tired. He is worried about his father’s morality and his future responsibilities and what will be expected of him. It is also shown what is going to be expected of him in the future and he is not sure he wants it. Sounds mundane but those thoughts and feelings are intertwined with all sorts of other intricate pieces of the story line which makes it a good addition to the adventure.
He is given not only information for his friends and own life but a bit of insight into how important Kasey is as well. It was nice to have the two stories connect and put them together. Making an intertwined story-line. This makes me want to read on even more. The characters structures are becoming quite mature as well with this way of connecting. Over-all a good read and addition and gave a lot of answers as well as hints for the future. Thank you Sam for allowing me to once again review your books so I can tell others about your fun books. Can’t wait to see what is next.
