"We trust in the linear, forever the same shape of the past, until eternity. But the diffrences between the past, presence and future are nothing but an illusion."

The dark didn't end with the light. He lost his future. She fights to survive. More secrets, more betrayal, and a love that was meant to fail before it even began. My name is Weston, but my friends call me Wes. Though, I don't have many left. Two years ago, I lost my dream. My future. My best friend's sister stumbled across a secret she had no idea existed-her secret. Friendships were betrayed. Unexpected alliances were formed. My loyalty was tested, but I blindly stood by their side. What I didn't realize was that following them into the dark would cost me everything. My friends. My scholarship. I was driven by anger and resentment toward the people I had once trusted with my life. Until I met her: King. My name is Kingsley Monroe. At least, that's the name I go by these days. I didn't plan this. I wasn't supposed to stay. Keep moving, he ordered. Then, one fateful afternoon changed the course of my future. I ran into him: Weston Sheats-literally. I stayed in the shadows for over a year. Eventually, my need for him to notice made me step out of the dark. I wanted him to see me once. I swore I wouldn't let him get close, I would not get attached. I failed. I fell-hard. An unexpected turn of events was the wake-up call I needed. I had to tell him, come clean. But would he accept my past? Who I am? Realizing there was no future, I did what I was supposed to do months ago...and I took the one thing with me that could've made a difference for both of us. ** Author's note: Because of the Dark (BOTD) is the fourth book in The Dark Series and considered an INTERCONNECTED standalone.

They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light... Gabriel woke deep within the ground, and the first sensation he felt was hunger. An overwhelming hunger for blood that demanded satisfaction. But as he hunted the dark streets of Paris for prey, a voice called to him, soothing, calming, giving him the strength to control his craving.

But surely his obsession with her would turn him as his twin brother had turned, leaving the world with two monsters instead of one. Though he knew she would be like hot silk in his arms, though he knew the taste of her would be addictive, he feared for her life and his soul if he took her. Then with one mind-shattering vow she gave herself—“I offer freely, without reservation, I offer my life for your as is my right”—and with a firestorm of long-forgotten feelings, he glimpsed salvation.
