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

Yes, Matthew had mistaken her for April, his first and only love, but it hadn’t taken him long to see how very different the girl and the thing were. He just thanked God he’d never given in to her flattery. Grandfather would have been disappointed in him, and how could he live with himself knowing he’d…been intimate with one of those things


He ground his teeth and flexed his fingers. One of these days, he’d find something sharp and deal with de Vivar.


Then he’d remove the boards covering every window in this place. That would give the thingswho dwelled here a nasty shock.


And once that was done, he’d go after the monster and take it apart with his bare hands.


Matthew sat huddled in the shadows. It was night now, but earlier he’d managed to loosen a number of boards that covered the windows and get back inside the mansion before any of the things rose. Smug bastards, thinking he’d stay cowering in a corner until Benito came to bring him to de Vivar.
