Imagine an earth just a bit different from ours. In this world normals unknowingly share the planet with all manner of beings, including vampyres, most of whom rely on bagged blood, which is supplemented by the blood of sabors, valued individuals whose blood contains an element necessary for the survival of the species. Tyrell Small has always felt different. He just never knew how different. On his sixteenth birthday, his father reveals Ty is one such sabor, with the birthmark to prove it. Upon learning he’ll be required to feed vampyres, Ty decides he’s not having any of that. He’ll run away and make his own destiny. Slipping out his second story bedroom window, he finds Adam Dasani, the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen, waiting for him on the roof. Adam is reluctant to distress the young sabor about to slide down the drainpipe, but he’s one of the vampyres Ty will one day feed. Equerry to the vampyre king, Adam had been given the task of guarding Ty on the day he was born. Because the blood of the two most powerful saborese families in the shared history of vampyres and sabors runs through Ty’s veins, some vampyres will do anything to obtain him for themselves. It will be up to Adam to keep Ty safe, not only from those rogue vampyres but from others who have plans of their own for him. Everyone keeps telling Ty he can’t escape his destiny, but he has no intention of sitting around twiddling his thumbs, waiting for life to catch up with him. However, will something Adam inadvertently said give Ty a way to live the life he wants and keep those he loves -- including Adam -- out of danger?

They Come by Night

And having this sabor,who was a combination of the two strongest sabor lines, as his own to feed from at his leisure—at his desire—would be all he needed to secure his plans.


Normals had no idea they weren’t alone, and once he became rege, he would see they were shown there was another race on this planet that was stronger than they.


And as for sabors, originally they had been for the sole use of the ruling vampyres. That had changed after the Great Plague, or so he’d been told, when for the survival of them all it had become necessary for saborsto be shared.


All that would change, as well as the nonsense of waiting until a saborreached his or her majority. The youngest ones had the sweetest blood, and, if they survived their first feeding, should prove to be the easiest trained.


De Vivar would still have the sabor,and he would be his aloneA vampyre’s life was long, and he intended to spend a good deal of time training the saborin the correct manner.
