Fall of Darkness

The pact: We solemnly swear never to speak of this night to anyone outside of this circle for as long as we live. We will never speak of the truths that were revealed this night or of the tragedy that followed...

I wouldn’t know the truth if it ran me over on a dark highway and stopped long enough to introduce itself to me, leaving all identifying information behind. I'm not proud of it, but I don't have any choice in the matter. My entire existence is a lie, a secret that has gotten people close to me killed. I live in a world where deception reigns with an iron fist and the truth ends with you in a pine box or running for your life. It's not like falling in love and being a sixteen-year-old girl are easy in their own right or anything. Whoever said you can always come home again never lived in my world and obviously never lived in a small town of any kind. My name is Mac and I'm the girl you want to stay clear of. I'm the danger your parents warn you about. And, ready or not, I'm moving back to town.

The most dangerous lies out there are not the ones the people closest to you tell you, they are the ones that we tell ourselves. Self-delusion is the master of all lies spun; the spider that guards deceptions web. The night of The Incident, I told myself that I was done with her. Then tragedy strikes a second time, sending our carefully crafted island of deceptive truths and earth shattering lies into chaos. My name is Rian. I'm supposed to be the good guy, but sometimes the line that separates the "good" guys from the "bad" guys is just a blurry optical illusion that tricks our mind into believing what we want to be true.

Six friends. One killer secret. As darkness falls on their already complicated teen world, they must decide if the past is worth giving into the darkness and tearing apart the very thing they have destroyed their own lives trying to protect.
