Darkness Come Alive

The darkness was always there. She just didn't know where to look.

Paramedic Lucy Barker thinks she's seen it all, after years of responding to violent accidents and medical emergencies on the streets of York. But when she arrives on the scene of a brutal attack, Lucy finds herself drawn into a nightmare world beyond her comprehension.

Inside a blood-drenched room lay two bodies; one dying from a neck wound, the other with a stake through the heart. Standing over both, a creature torn from the pages of myth: Adam, a vampire with two and a half centuries of terror in his past.

And he's not the only one.

Darkness Come Alive is the breathless debut novel in Paul Stephenson's vampire series Darkness Rises: visceral, atmospheric, and rooted in the dark heart of one of England's oldest cities. For fans who like their urban fantasy as dark as the night, and their heroines tougher than they look.

The darkness was always there. Now it's found her.
