Nearly twenty years after a catastrophic event that left the Earth in the control of a Totalitarian, inter-dimensional Empire, Diana is among the last generation of children born before their new overlords left humanity unable to reproduce.
Living in the dilapidated City 17, Diana's life is wrought with hard work, poor living conditions, and meager rations. Every day could very well be her last. But with subservience comes reward. Torn between her desire to avenge the death of her family and her need to survive, just how much of her humanity will she sacrifice to her callous overlords to ensure her own survival?
This story is set in the Half-Life universe, predominantly using the setting of the Half-Life 2 Beta, mixed with some aspects of the finished Half-Life 2.

Copyrighted 2020 **Book 1 in the Darkness Series!** **Completed!** *Under construction* There was a creature locked away miles beneath the stone streets of Deshua, Oregon. A monster with the body of a man, jet black eyes of a soulless demon, and even darker feather wings cascading from its back. Those foolish enough to believe its unnatural, ethereal beauty would call it a fallen angel. The immortals who inhabited the town knew better. They knew to call it daemonium-demon. Forced asleep by a council who believed in the greater good, many revered the monster. Yet the town's eternal population was torn in two. Half awaited the day for the foretold cursed soul to come and resurrect their lord and the other half feared it just as much. And guess who got to be that lucky bitch. *No love triangle* -&- **WARNING** This book WILL have mature, adult content! Please be aware of this before reading.

What would you do if there was a Monster that one day popped up in your life? uninvited and seemed to know exactly where you were at all times? What if it almost ended your life?

And most importantly Will she survive? _____________________________________________ In this gruesome horror story the events take place in modern day West Virginia which is where you will meet Maria Nichole Grey: a young and lonely fifteen year old girl that is still grieving the death of her father who died in a car accident seven years ago, leaving her with her aloof mother who was almost never home to witness the strange and dangerous happenings that keep Maria in constant danger.
