There are some highly original twists on the standard ‘demon hunter’ tropes, leading to some cool surprises. A solid addition to your urban fantasy/paranormal suspense collection. Highly recommended.” – J.D. Rhoades, author of The Devil’s Right Hand “Reminiscent of Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, and all my old-school horror favorites, Darker Things is a phenomenal start to a dark fiction series.” – Travis Luedke “OMG what a ride this book was!! I was hooked from the first page and couldn't put it down. I read it in two days. Non-stop action, twists and surprises. Great character development and story line.” – P.

The Agency taught him how to fight monsters, not a war. How to protect his country, not those he loved. How to kill, not how to live. Now Craig Lockman faces a legion of vampires led by a self-proclaimed vampire king. Never before have these creatures amassed in such great numbers. Their goal is uncertain. Their reach unknown. And while Lockman's training can help in the battle against this dark legion, nothing can prepare him for the sacrifice he must make in order to defeat its king.

Dark Legion

One objective has driven Craig Lockman since the day his daughter arrived on his doorstep—protect her at all costs. But now he works for a new Agency with a leader who insists Jessie is the Chosen One, prophesized to bring about The Return and send all supernaturals back to wherever they came from. He will stop at nothing to see it realized. Meanwhile, still enraged over the loss of her sister, Teresa Stevenson sees Jessie as a dangerous monster who must die, and Teresa will suffer a frightening sacrifice to make it happen. But everyone has forgotten one small detail—if anyone wants to get to Jessie, they'll have to get through Lockman first, and he won't make it easy.
