How VLG Began
Laurann Dohner, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, crafted the VLG series as a bold foray into paranormal romance, drawing on her love for creating intricate worlds with happy endings. Inspired by her passion for supernatural creatures and her knack for blending romance with high-stakes drama, Dohner launched VLG in 2015 with *Drantos*. The Alaskan setting, with its harsh beauty, became the perfect backdrop for a saga about hybrid creatures—VampLycans and GarLycans—living fiercely and loving deeply. Dohner’s goal was to weave a series that felt both epic and intimate, rooted in family ties and personal discovery.
The Heart of VLG
The VLG series kicks off with *Drantos*, where Dusti Dawson survives a plane crash only to learn her grandfather is a power-hungry VampLycan with dark plans. Guided by Drantos, a brooding VampLycan, Dusti navigates a world of hybrid creatures and forbidden attraction. *Kraven*, the second book, follows Dusti’s sister Batina, a sharp-tongued lawyer, as she clashes with Kraven, Drantos’s brother, in a steamy battle of wits and hearts. *Lorn* dives into the emotional stakes of Kira, a human-VampLycan hybrid, and her lifelong love for Lorn, a clan leader facing impossible choices. *Lavos*, a fan favorite, introduces Jadee, a skeptic thrust into a nightmare of vampires and a magnetic connection with Lavos, a non-human rescuer.
At its core, VLG explores themes of self-discovery, loyalty, and forbidden love. The Alaskan wilderness amplifies the series’ raw, primal energy, with its isolation mirroring the characters’ struggles to find belonging. Dohner’s style is fast-paced and steamy, balancing intense action with emotional vulnerability. Readers are drawn to the unique hybrid creatures—VampLycans and GarLycans—whose complex heritage adds layers to the romance and conflict. The series’ focus on family ties, especially between the Dawson sisters and the VampLycan brothers, grounds the supernatural drama in relatable human connections.
Why VLG Resonates
VLG has carved a niche in paranormal romance for its bold world-building and unapologetic embrace of steamy, alpha-driven love stories. Fans on platforms like Goodreads and Amazon praise the series for its addictive pacing and memorable characters, with *Lavos* and *Trayis* often cited as standouts for their emotional depth. While lesser-known than mainstream series, VLG’s cult following cherishes its ability to blend gritty action with heartwarming romance, making it a go-to for readers seeking escapism. Its influence lies in proving that niche paranormal tales can thrive by leaning into unique settings and hybrid mythologies.
The series’ lasting appeal comes from its fearless exploration of love in extreme circumstances, resonating with readers who crave passion with stakes. Dohner’s commitment to happy endings ensures every book leaves you satisfied yet eager for more, cementing VLG’s place as a beloved escape into the wilds of Alaska.
