Into The Dark
A forgotten story is a legend undiscovered
Gabe and his family live a simple life, happy in their world it all begins to crumble when Gabe receives a mysterious package from a forgotten relative. A diary, wrapped in brown paper sets Gabe on a path of rediscovery and sees him, and his family, thrust into harms way at the hands of a mysterious organisation known as the Veks.
Faced with an impossible dilemma Gabe must protect his family by finding and retrieving the legacy of his ancestor. What he had once dismissed as the ramblings of a mad old man seems now to have been mumblings of unbelievable truth. Gabe along with his two children Claudia and Logan will find themselves tested beyond all measure of expectation. Between them they will face challenges that will either pull them together or tear their family apart.
Into The Dark is an enticing adventure born from the original novelette series Origins Of The Magdon. Not every monster’s legacy is remembered in history, sometimes those that are too terrifying and impossible to imagine are forgotten over time. In this heart racing adventure a family must come together to save that which matters to them most. They must face impossible odds and defy all expectation to survive their adventure with every step overshadowed by the mysterious followers of The Magdon.
The first full-length novel born from The Magdon Series you are invited to take your first steps into a world of forgotten beasts that, if unleashed, will threaten all of humanity.
An engaging and tense action adventure from Tobey Alexander well suited to the style and stories of Dan Brown, Christopher Paolini with a sense of adventure akin to the likes of Indiana Jones and The Mummy. Mixing a sense of the real and unreal in an enticing and engaging adventure leaving you questioning just how fictitious is fiction and where exactly does imagination end and reality begin.

About the author
Tobey Alexander
51 books99 followersIt's always a bit weird trying to sum myself up in a paragraph or two but here goes. I'm a father-of-three curious little humans who probably reflect various elements of my personality, full-time worker on the Thin Blue Line, adventurer in my own right and live for the escape of the outdoors where I can. Ever since I was young I enjoyed creative alternative worlds and stories and I suppose having now "apparently" grown up I can put it to use as an author.
I write to release my own over-active imagination and at the heart of everything is always the idea of adventure. I want my books to offer everyone the chance to escape form the everyday routines and things that niggle at us. In my books for younger audiences I want to nurture that sense of wonder, intrigue and adventure I remember growing up. In the older audience I want to reinvigorate that sense and offer a break from mortgages, bills, work and stress.
I'm not perfect, far from it in fact and all I am trying to do is make the best of what I have. For me, over the years, I've found out I carry a rare genetic deletion with unknown effects but seems to put me on the autism spectrum. Learning that helped me accept that the "quirkiness" of my nature is more acceptable than I had thought. Every story I write, every book I release I have seen in my head, acted out and watched as if it were a film. The way my brain works helps me do this and I only hope you find something you enjoy in my stories.

Blood, Monsters & Mystery
I’ve read a few of this author’s books and they’re all refreshingly original. Full of action and adventure, they never disappoint. Loved the characters and the settings. It was a wild ride full of surprises! Great “mind movie”!

A truly captivating story, about family's legacies and monsters, and things that go bump in the night this book will keep you up all night until you get to the end.
With non-stopping action and a very interesting story-line this is a recommended read for those who love the genre.
