DIANNA HARDY, OFFICIAL WEBSITE

International Bestselling Fantasy Series

Eye Of The Storm

​Dark paranormal fantasy for the call of the wild in us all.
Set in the Surrey Hills, England
IMPORTANT NOTE
Although this series deals with romance, it is not written to be a standard romance. Its focus is on the theme of man vs. beast, and higher consciousness vs. baser needs. Although humorous in places, this series is also sexually explicit, dark, and contains violence and scenes that may disturb some readers.

Lydia Martin has always had dreams, the weirdest and hottest of them all involving a faceless, muscle-bound man that speaks like sin and smells like sex. Like any sane person, she always put the dreams down to an overactive imagination, coupled with a higher than average libido.

One night, however, instead of their usual, erotic encounters, she finds him in her dream, chained to a wall and screaming in pain. Not only that, but she thinks she recognises the building he's being held captive in as one that's just a few streets away.

Awaking with an irrepressible need to save her fantasy lover, Lydia decides to humour her dream self and head on over to where she thinks he's imprisoned. 

What unfolds is beyond even her wildest imaginings, as she's sucked into a dangerous and deadly world she never knew existed ... and it turns out that the man who inhabits her darkest fantasies, isn't the only one that needs releasing.

"...jumping into the story blind with both feet, I was blown away.  I loved this story so much I could not stop reading it."
Dark Night Reads

​
"In short, prepare yourselves because this is not your average cotton-candy, pastel-painted picture. The Author very thoroughly described the interactions within a pack, very animalistic and definitely not what you would expect in your average PNR. She makes us question the border between a man and a beast."

The full moon is a week away, and although Lydia is as excited as it gets to run as a wolf for the first time, she is also fighting to keep her independence while trying to understand her role in the lives of the three males that have come to rule hers: compassionate, tender Taylor; impetuous, fun-loving Ryan and distant, cold Lawrence.

There's also a fourth man in Lydia's life. Brendan, her previous "friend with benefits", is tirelessly searching for her. He's about to uncover things that should be kept hidden.

However, the testosterone surrounding her is the last thing she should be worrying about. Her family bear truths about her heritage she's not ready to face ... she may not have a choice, because the greatest danger to them all comes from within. The past never stays buried for long, and among the shadows of their species it is rising with a vengeance, threatening to tear their pack apart for good.

Lydia becomes ever closer to her three mates. However, with unrest all around, she is struggling to keep her wolves together for her first full moon, just twenty-four hours away.  

A trip back home for Ryan could bring much needed support for them all, but at what cost?

As The Trident close in on Ryan's pack, the pack itself becomes divided over Lydia's presence and Lawrence is encouraged to return as the Alpha. But they don't know his secret, and he's doubtful of his ability to protect them. Can he fulfil his rightful role, or will his efforts prove fatal?

Meanwhile, among the arid plains of Egypt, in a long-forgotten city, one man is pitting himself against the beast inside him in order to find salvation, only to realise, so much more is at stake than his soul.

"Hardy has a very up front, no shit, take it or leave it and very unapologetic style of writing - which I love! She takes her characters to the brink because that's where they need to go....and not because she thinks that's the direction that would best please the reader."

The full moon has been and gone, beginning a new phase of greater surety for the wolves of Surrey and the mated four who lead them. Ryan's old pack from Wiltshire – a force to be reckoned with – have ensured their immediate safety from The Trident ... but what will they demand in return for their protection?

As Lydia and Lawrence heal old wounds, finding solace in each other, Ryan battles with his own past. He'd do anything to keep the pack he loves safe, but 'anything' might have consequences he never imagined.

Meanwhile, Selena's sole focus is in keeping herself intact as Gabriel relishes in breaking her. What will she have to become in order to survive?

And Sarah has some tough choices to make, all of which will test her beliefs and challenge her boundaries of what makes good, and what makes evil.

"The story has several twists and turns, not to mention shocking revelations, and is masterfully told. The sensual heat factor in the story is hot enough to start a fire, and the ending has left me wanting more!"

With the king returned after twenty years absent, wolves across the country – even Europe – are coming out of hiding to show their support. And not a moment too soon, for dark shadows from the past are taking centre stage in the lives of the four who lead the Surrey pack.

Is the royal line corrupt? Where do storm-wielders truly come from? And how does an ancient Egyptian mythology fit into the confused present?

As the moon begins to wax once more, answers start to surface. However, they may come too late to save their species from extinction.

The bond between the mated four is stronger than ever; a future worth fighting for is within reach... But The Trident have a new leader – one who will do anything to survive. And the knowledge one old woman harbours could be enough to destroy everything.

Reviews

★★★★★
Only two words for Taylor and Ryan... heartfelt and hot. These two have been working toward this for a while and it is great to finally see their relationship take the next step; and oh god... the fact that they have finally gotten to this place, this loving, accepting, beautiful place... makes it all the more harder and stressful when trouble rears its ugly head, and believe me, it does.

Day by day, Lydia's mastery of her storm-wielding grows. But whether gift or curse, her achievements are dampened by recent losses, and Taylor's inability to fully heal from his near-death experience. As worry for their future increases, Ryan faces his past once more in a bid to secure the happy future he glimpsed for them all.

The full moon is upon them. The Trident are unstoppable in their savage expansion; Selena is all but gone.

However, secrets are still being uncovered amid the whispers of time and its shifting sand - an ancient, mystical past is about to catch up with the present. Sarah might be carrying more than she'd bargained for.

Meanwhile, Lawrence has his own battle to face and life-altering decisions to make - and not just to his life. His duties as King could yet overrule his duties as mate. When the outcome is the sure extinction of the species you are responsible for, what do you sacrifice to keep it alive?
​

Reign Of The Wolf is the last book in the Eye Of The Storm series.

★★★★★
I found myself laughing and crying in several places, there is tenderness, love, loss, anger and every other emotion you can think of. The story arc throughout the series has been building up to one final climax and what a climax!
Book Reviews By Lynn

★★★★★
...Dianna Hardy has penned a fantastic Urban Fantasy Series; a truly unique twist on Werewolves and the beliefs and mythology behind them. It has been such a joy to explore this world, which feels so real to me that I would expect to find these dynamic and wonderful characters in Surrey. I have loved every minute of this intense and thrilling journey.
Elizabeth Morgan, Author

One minute I would be burning those pages flipping and flipping and then the next I would be like no, no, no because I knew it was the last book and I didn't want to see it end.

Author News About This Series (updated April 2025)
  • The main 6 books (on this page) completes the series.
  • The Blood Never Lies duet (Aftershock and Blood Shadow) work alongside the After the Storm novelettes as bonus reads and a build up to two new series yet to be written.
  • The first of these new series will be set 18 or so years later and will be about the next generation within the wolf families — there’s no date for this. I may take a few years before writing it to put some distance between myself and the previous characters.
  • The second of these is Fathoms Deep which may be a standalone novel rather than a series and follows both Selena/Laura and Roman’s continuing story from Blood Shadow — I plan to write this fairly soon after my current project with an aim to publish within a year or two.
  • Jewels of the Crown is the LAST novelette in the After the Storm series (3 others have been published), this one I’d like to write and publish in the autumn/winter of this year.
In summary, the end of this year should look like this: I will have started a new series (Blood Surge) that I can write alongside other books like Fathoms Deep and any other standalones. (New books and series = new characters, new ideas, keeping the writing fresh, etc.)

Lastly, the Eye of the Storm Omnibus Edition is no longer in publication in any format. This is because the cost of creating and delivering such a huge book/file does not, unfortunately, make it worth it. At this size, you're pretty much paying the same amount to buy the eBooks individually. Thanks to everyone who bought it - you got yourself something unique and no longer in print!
