The world as we know it has come to an end. Gone are the days of late night bonfires, parties with friends, and carefree evenings with the family. Everything that once made us human has now been stripped away in an instant. This is the world that the human race lives in, this is the world of the reapers. Those who wish to stay alive must band together and face a darkness that consumes everything in its path.

 Arri Carella, a young woman who used to dream of a normal life, searches for her younger brother in the wasteland of what once was British Columbia. Fearing that she may be too late to save her beloved brother, she ventures into the night and towards her own share of unimaginable danger. Challenging the creatures that lurk in the shadows, Arri discovers a newfound darkness inside of her own heart. A darkness that has left her vulnerable to the hunger of the reapers. Will she remain susceptible to the hands of the dark creatures, or will someone come along to show her the light remaining in her soul?

 Benjamin Vonowitz, a warrior on Squadron 3 of the Night Talon Core has always been at the top of his game. Leader of his squadron, most valuable fighter in the Core, and an incredible survivalist to top it off. Not once has he ever let one of his warriors be lost to a reaper, and not once has he ever found something important enough to distract him from his goal; kill the darkness, restore the light. Suddenly, however, Benjamin is thrust into uncharted territory, the cunning of a strange woman, and the question of whether or not his physical strength can be translated to his mind. 

 As the sun sets the reapers play, a sick game of cat and mouse. Now, abandoned houses line overgrown streets. Human beings have become the prey, and they must fight to survive. 

Night will bring you no rest.
