title: The Alliance: Bloodlines (Volume 1)
author:  S. E. Doster 
description: S.E. Doster is a Georgia native who can usually be found somewhere in the country with her dog Draco. When she is not reading or writing stories, you can usually find her immersed in an epic video game or with a paintbrush in hand. Regardless of which hobby she is enjoying, chances are good youll hear rock music blaring in the background.
