Children of the Night

Children of the Night The Gothic castle Shreken Schloss holds the legend of Count Edgar – a vampire and sorcerer. A group of friends, seeking refuge from the rain within its walls, accidentally awakens the "children of the night" – servants of darkness, eternally longing for prey. Under the vaults of the ancient castle, where the very air is imbued with magic, it is easy to awaken to life those who dwell in the night. To survive, they must unravel the mystery of Shreken Schloss, find the key to ancient power, and understand that sometimes to save oneself, one must accept the part of darkness that lives within everyone. Daughter of Samhain Nineteen years ago, in the Irish town of Killarney, Fiona's parents made a deal with dark forces. In exchange, they received everything they dreamed of: a beautiful girl with skin whiter than snow and hair the color of ash. Forgotten oaths in the world of mortals – an eternal law for the Wonderful Folk. Fiona, born on the night of Samhain – a child of the moon and primordial magic, promised to the Horned God. When she turns nineteen, the boundary between worlds grows thin: for nights, unknown beings watch her, and the girl herself awakens unknown and frightening powers. Now she is hunted by all the denizens of the night: devourers, ghostly hounds, and the black stag. To gain her freedom, Fiona must remember who she truly is and face the Horned Lord himself, who has awaited her for nineteen years.
