The Chronicles of Kerrigan Prequel #4
Fight the Darkness
Learn how it all began … before Rae Kerrigan.
The sins of the father are the sins of the son.
What did Rae’s father do that put fear in people’s eyes at the name Kerrigan?
It only takes a second for your entire life to change.
Simon Kerrigan thought he had it all figured out. He has friends, a gorgeous girlfriend he’s in love with, and even a secret society to topple what he thought was a tyrannical regime. However, in the wake of a giant storm, Simon realizes his entire world has fallen down around him.
With one friend on death’s door, and another hiding out in a secret flat in London, Simon finds himself torn between two worlds. Before he has a chance to figure out where he stands, the Privy Council beckons him.
A girlfriend with a secret, an inner darkness building inside him, mistrust all around—Simon can no longer hide in the shadows.
Can he find it in himself to join up with the enemy? Can he do what it takes to keep Beth safe? Who is the real enemy now?
And more importantly… what do they want with Simon Kerrigan?
The Chronicles of Kerrigan Prequel is the beginning of the story before Rae Kerrigan. Christmas Before the Magic is just the beginning (but not the end...)

About the author
W.J. May
237 books1,186 followers Wanita May grew up in the fruit belt of Ontario - St.Catharines. Crazy-happy childhood, she always has had a vivid imagination and loads of energy.
The youngest of six -- four older brothers, and a sister -- taught her at a young age to be competitive in all aspects of life.
At sixteen, she began competing in athletics (track and field) and before she turned seventeen, she was representing Canada in high jump. She continued to compete, breaking Canada's JR High Jump record (1.92m - 6' 3 1/2" for those metric-ly challenged). She attented University of Toronto, and Kansas State University - winning CIAU's and becoming All-American 6x - NCAA Indoors Runner Up + more.
But you're not interested in her athletic career - unless of course you're curious to know she stands 1.70m (5'7") and has jumped 20cm over her head on more than one occassion. She's represented Canada at the World Championships, World Jrs., won Francophone Games, and loved every minute of every competition. From the grueling workouts, the crazy weights she lifted on her back, the days she thought her lungs were going to spit out of her mouth for lack of oxygen, the travelling around the world and the opportunity to read - her favourite past time.
Life continued with her husband (a distance runner from Liverpool, UK, who she met at KSU) and then their first, then second and finally third child. Their house became full of more imagination and stories.
Wanita and her husband run an online business, dealing in antiques and collectables - particularly jewelry and porcelain (one of the business' website: www.wadeincanada.com ).
After her father passed away in 2009, from a six-year battle with cancer (which she still believes he won the fight against), she began to write again. A passion she'd loved for years, but realized life was too short to keep putting it off.
Her first book, Rae of Hope - from the Chronicles of Kerrigan - will be available October 2011 by kNight Romance Publishing.
She is currently represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency. Wanita is a writer of Young Adult, Fantasy Fiction and where ever else her little muses take her.

Interesting.. Simon is finally becoming fun.
Okay, so Fight the Darkness is the fourth book in this prequel series. These books just seem to fly by because they are so short yet addicting. It honestly doesn't even matter if I become bored or annoyed anymore. Probably my favorite thing when it comes to shorter books - you can zoom through them.
Now, I do love getting to see this darker side of him. Other than that, I really enjoyed getting to see more of Beth. It was fun seeing her grow into her own powers. Not going to lie, now the series is getting a bit better but I have a feeling I'm coming to the end soon. Let's see how the next book will go.

Fight the Darkness did not disappoint
This series has kept me on the edge. I'm always wondering g who is good and who is bad and what can possibly happen next. Can't wait to read the next book.

Things are starting to make sense
Things are starting to make sense in a twisted sort of way.
Simon may have had an idea, but there's someone else behind the scenes.
He is strong, but not infallible.

W.J. May can really spin a good story, Having read CoK first she is making me see the villain in a whole new light. I am sure I will have to reread the original CoK books first
