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

Corpses—some fresh, some not so fresh, but all obviously drained of blood—had been discovered by the enforcers in the old abandoned cemetery at the other end of Mifflin. Homicide had a number of cold case files, and Luke had a feeling these bodies tied in with them.


He didn’t want his sisters to worry, although eventually they’d have to know what was going on, but for the time being his best bet was to distract them.


“So what about that guy you’re seeing, Sarah?”


Sarah sighed and shook her head. “I thought he’d want to meet you and Beth.”


Beth squealed and grabbed Sarah, but before she could dance her around the room, Sarah stepped back and straightened her shoulders.


“I said I thought he would. Actually, what he wanted to do was break up with me. He seemed to feel I’m too high maintenance.”


“You? High maintenance?” Beth growled. “The son of a bitch! I’ll tear off his balls and shove them down his throat.”
