They say it's the one thing that will save us, that our humanity is the one thing that separates us from them. But I'm not so sure anymore.




In 1999 the vampires stopped hiding amongst us. Our fascination with the supernatural was growing and they were welcomed into a world that had only ever feared them based on ancient fables, Hollywood horror movies and best selling novels. 



It wasn't the millennium bug we had expected, but life did change as the clock ticked over into a new year and it was never the same again.

-----

Lucy Dames knew better than to go out after dark. Vampires were no longer a creature of fantasy, accepted as part of everyday life - they were just as alive as the next person. With a new racial division in society she was torn as to which side to stand on, knowing humans were just as cruel as vampires could be human.

None of it could prepare her for the issue of the vampire mark she has on her wrist and three years later it's time to find out just what it wants with Lucy and more importantly will she come out of it alive?




*contains swearing, adult themes and violence*

Daughter of Nyx (Book Three) by StephanieYarns
23 parts Complete Mature
Reaching a decision that will forever change her life, not to mention the fate of the world, she seeks out the one person that can give her the strength she needs. However, she knows that this help won't come easy. Or painless. What she doesn't realize is that the Sons of Iapeth are on the hunt and should she get the help she desperately desires, they will come for her. With one group hunting her and another group hunting those she loves, the walls are closing in and time for them is running out and just as it seems there may be moonlight in her future, she lets her guard down and may pay the ultimate price. THIS IS THE THIRD BOOK OF THE (what was supposed to be trilogy, but it's looking like four... I hate me.) FOUR BOOK SERIES. If you start here, you will be HELLA confused. Please go back to Daughter of Night (A daughter of Nyx novel) STANDARD DISCLAIMER!!! THERE WILL BE SEXY TIME. There will be a lot of it. There will also be things that happen that might be uncomfortable to read. I can't apologize, because this is the story. I HOPE I gave enough warning to what was coming in the last book to not shock anyone. But here's your warning. THINGS MIGHT CHANGE as I am not finished with the novel. If things do, I will post an A/N alerting anyone to the fact, with the date, so you know if you need to check up on it. Because I still have SO MUCH STORY to go, I'll post the first three chapters now, because I feel safe that they won't change. After that I will post a chapter every other day. When I finish, I'll post the rest of it at once. Okay, so, not that I have written a novella here, I will start posting the novel. To my returning readers, I love you all, so fucking much!
Where Shadows Lurk and Darkness Dwells by ruthmirandamendes
12 parts Ongoing Mature
In an alternative version of Earth, humanity's been close to decimated by two large calamities, separate in time, with the span of a hundred years between them. Much was lost, other than lives, but much was also gained. Resources, civilisation, techonlogy, all these dwindled to near-nothing, but on advent of the First Calamity, magic came. And the few who could hold it in their hands, soon learnt how they could use it to their gain - and to help the fate of mankind. Or so they said. With great power comes great responsibility, but also greed and ambition. Now that nature had been conquered by the magical powers of those who carried that trait, they started looking elsewhere. Sickness, diseases, ailments big or small, these could all be eradicated. Given time, even death could be conquered, and immortality claimed! Unable to realise they were about to release a Second Calamity upon the world, those powerful scholars pursued their goals, with no regard for the consequences. And these were worst than they could have imagined - for the dead started raising from their graves and preying on the living. Some of them were even sentient. Years into the advent of the Second Calamity, mankind has devised ways of protecting those without powers, by use of the ones imbued with magic. Under the flag of the Confederation of Nations, hunters, scholars, healers, spellcasters, are trained and brought together in Covenants that fight the undead and make the world safer. But when the lurking creatures start acting out of character and unexpected events begin to take place, can the Confederation still be trusted? Follow the Quarter Moon Covenant as they hunt the monsters who seek to destroy them and struggle to understand what secrets have been kept from them. And from the whole of humanity, as well.

ON HIS WATCH

11 parts Complete Mature

She never knew that his world existed. The supernatural was not something she was enamoured with, unlike most young women her age. In the days of Twilight, Supernaturals, The Originals and Bitten, vampires, witches, werewolves and other supernatural creatures, she just wasn't interested. She just wanted to make it through university, graduate and have a career. If she meets a guy, fine. If not, fine. She wasn't concerned. No one had every made her feel interested. He watched her. From a distance. It was forbidden to reveal himself to her. Humans didn't do well when they learned that they were not the only species out there. She was unspoiled by the world around her. Unbelievably so. Innocent in a way that he had not seen in centuries. She was pure and light. To have her as his was his one desire. Yet, they were worlds apart. Then, she was attacked, and that very innocence stolen. With his rage brewing stronger and stronger, he broke the rules and came to her. Saving her at the last minute.
