Fane has made it his life’s mission to destroy the creature who wiped out his entire tribe and damned him to an endless life of roaming and insatiable hunger, but when he finally catches up with him in London, he discovers that the creature has a weakness… a daughter.

At the mercy of her tyrannical and treacherous father, Sarah has spent her life making as few waves as possible, but then she meets a man who isn’t afraid of her father… a man shrouded in darkness.

Laurie Ann Butcher lives in Yorkshire, England with her husband, and is the author of ‘The Guardians Series’ featuring ‘Darkness’, ‘The Lingering Shadows’ and ‘The Mists of Avalon’.

The youngest of six, she grew up in a dysfunctional family surrounded by hatred, anger and envy, and watched her mother and older sister buckle under the weight of mental illness. She suffered from trauma on numerous occasions throughout her life which resulted in repetitive nightmares. Physically and mentally abused by a narcissistic brother, bullied at school, and groomed by the neighbourhood paedophile, she grew up believing that what she experienced on a daily basis was normal. Her memoir, ‘Learning to be Human’, was written with the intention of helping young people recognise different forms of abuse and manipulation, and to help parents understand that they are more than parents… they are teachers.
