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.
Without warning it began! The inevitable, I think it's fair to assume this book is not in my possession. This means I'm most likely dead. Most nights I wrestle the reason I have chosen to explain what happened, the things we did to each other, things no human being should witness. I Wright this simply to enlighten your poor soul and give you more of a chance than I had. A chance to survive what is most likely the brink of human extinction. Times are harder now and as the days go by we are less of our former selves. We have become husks floating around in a lost, desolate world. I look at this place and it still seems so alien to me, as the days roll into the nights I'm still unsure of how we got to this point.
If you are reading this, you too are probably North and very much aware of what has happened to our beloved city. I feel a responsibility to inform you that you will most likely share the same fate as I have. I understand you may be wondering what's worse than death, trust me in this place death seems like a paradise compared. I do not know why I still feel so obligated to write this. To be honest most nights I think its just an escape from the madness, like a natural sedative it's the only way I can fall asleep in this hell. However I do need to clear my conscious and pay dividend for my demons. I need you to know what happened to me; I need you to know what we have become and what we are capable of. I need you to know why we have chosen to kill each other, why the smell of human flesh lingers in the air like slow roast pork on a Sunday afternoon. Why bodies litter our streets. Why things that seemed to be so impossible happen in front of our very own eyes. Why conformity i this place is the unreal ideas people live their lives by and why I was included into this group of youthful abominations. All of this might be irrelevant compared to what I am about to tell you.
