"They say revenge is best served cold...

Personally, I like mine served with a side of dragon fire."


All I ever wanted was to be an acrobat in the circus. Then my family was killed by vampires and plans changed.

I became a vigilante, instead.

I still perform. My dragon, Percy, and I take to the skies in the greatest show you've ever seen. Our very own Cirque du Dragon ...

Ever since the gods left, exiling their mythical creations to earth, things have been topsy turvy. And seeing this sassy Kansas girl cracking whips on the back of a dragon sure does draw in a crowd.

Not that I allow their adulations (and tips) to stop me from what I truly crave. Vengeance.

One of the murderous vampires is in New Orleans.

Seems he's been up to horrible things since killing my parents: the illegal trading of mythical creatures.

And if I don't stop him, no one will.

Lucky for me, I got two whips and a dragon by my side.


From the twisted minds of S. W. Clarke and Ramy Vance comes a new action filled fantasy unlike anything seen before.


If you like the Dresden Files, Mercy Thompson series or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you’ll be helplessly addicted to the Cirque du Dragon series.




Over 120,000 words of octane-fueled magic and mayhem fill this tome.

* We will release this as two mini-volumes sometime in the future.



"Mythology, satire, and brutal honesty. Vance delivers a knockout punch of fun and fearlessness in every last one of his books. Not only does he make you laugh, he makes you think. That's a rare combination that few authors ever achieve, and Vance does it splendidly."

— John P. Logsdon, author of the Paranormal Police Department series.

The Cirque du Dragon Series takes place in the GoneGod World...a unique setting of myths, magic and mischief. But what is the GoneGod World?

Four years ago, the gods left. All of them. Their last message to humanity was "Thank you for believing in us, but it is not enough. We're leaving. Good luck."

At first no one took them seriously. Until, that is, all the denizens of all the heavens and hells started showing up on people's doorsteps.

Creatures from every religion, mythology, folklore or fairytale now live among us, mortal and homeless. Trouble is, after eons of living forever, elves, dragons, dwarves, oni-demons, even friggin’ Medusa aren't very good at being mortal.


Welcome to the GoneGod World...where myths are real and the greatest show on earth is the Cirque du Dragon.
