Chronicles of Darkness: Shadows and Dust
Since the beginning of time there was darkness, inhabited by those who were never meant to walk in sunlight. With each passing age they vanished further into oblivion.
In the late 16th century in Europe, they rise from the shadows and a new darkness threatens to enfold the world. The life of humankind seems forfeit because the vampires sleep no longer.
Fate runs its course as the young Kyrian Leosol and his family of hunters are unexpectedly drawn into a conflict about power, vengeance and betrayal among the vampire society.
The story starts in Paris, where the vampire hunters are called to help in solving most mysterious deaths. Azrael, evil incarnate, has conquered the city and robs the hearts of young maidens. Is it mere coincidence that a beautiful woman, who appears to be hiding a dark secret, enters Kyrian's life? A dangerous game against time begins.
Spellbound by the dreadful atrocities, hunters and vampires do not realize the awakening of an ancient force hidden in the deep forests of Transylvania.
An old battle rekindles. The choice between good and bad, between love and hate, will determine the future of the world.

I understand this is only the first book, and there is a sequel, so I am giving it 4 stars. I look forward to the romance part to come and enjoyed this character building. I was pulled into this world, feeling some empathy for every character, except one. My heart warmed at the relationship between siblings and my stomach turned at the brutality of the deaths of other characters. Overall, the authors gave me the ability to create scenes in my head.
There were a couple small spelling or grammatical errors, but nothing that interfered with the flow of the story, and nothing that I have not seen in any other self-published book.
