Prologue:
The Night World.. Love was never so scary.Prophecy:
The Night World isn't a place. It's all around us. It's a secret society of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other creatures of darkness that live among us. They're beautiful and deadly and irresistible to humans. Your high school teacher could be one, and so could your boyfriend.The Night World laws say it's okay to hunt humans. It's okay to toy with their hearts, it's even okay to kill them.
There are only two things you can't do with them.
These are stories about what happens when the rules get broken.
- Never let them find out the Night World exists.
- Never fall in love with one of them.
In blue fire, the final darkness is banished.
In blood, the final price is paid.
Four to stand between the light and the shadow,
Four of blue fire, power in their blood.
Born in the year of the blind Maiden's vision;
Four less one and darkness triumphs.
One from the land of kings long forgotten;
One from the hearth which still hold the spark;
One from the Day World where two eyes are watching;
One from the twilight to be one with dark.
