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

While he waited for the blood to warm, he gave some consideration to this situation with de Vivar. It was becoming more and more disastrous.


He should have destroyed de Vivar’s talisman centuries ago, and he would have if his sister hadn’t had a fondness for the Spaniard.


Because of his own fondness for Terese, he’d been willing to overlook a good many of de Vivar’s faults, on occasion to the detriment of both vampyres and sabors


De Vivar might not be aware of it, but all his bats were about to come home to hang from the ceiling rafters. He’d worn out whatever fondness Terese Dasani had once had for him, and Mondragon had no more patience for his overweening ambitions.


As soon as Adam returned, they would decide the best way to find and deal with de Vivar. Once that was done, he’d need to give some consideration to Tyrell Small. The young saborhad enraptured his nephew. Could that be permitted to continue?
