Предысловие:
Since the beginning of time Mankind has existed between the World of Light and the World of Darkness.
This journal chronicles the work of our secret society, known as The Legacy, created to protect the innocent from those creatures that inhabit the Shadows and the Night.

Between Heaven and Hell.

Am I dead. . . or dying . . . or what? Holly thought.
Evan laughed, and the sound echoed hollowly in the infinite corridor. Several of the lifeless figures in the doorways began to laugh softly. Then the sound faded.
''No, Mom. Don't be silly. You're not dead.''
Holly jumped and let out a squeal when she felt something squeeze her hand. Looking down, she saw that Evan was reaching out to hold her hand. Trembling, she took his hand, surprised by the clammy, fleshy touch as his small fingers slid into her palm.
Then why am I here?
''I need you to do something,'' Evan said. His voice was like the rasp of sandpaper.
You know I'd do anything for you, honey . . . absolutely anything.
He looked up at her with eyes too old for his round face, and smiled.
''I want you to kill the man who killed me.''

Предысловие:
She heard something like a creak. Like one of the crates opening. Then another, louder—followed by a thud. Rachel's heart started beating faster. Other sounds then. A scratching noise. The sound of something moving—of nails hitting the wood floor. A dog sound, she thought.
She knew she wanted to run toward the door out. But she had not moved. And now, with that doglike sound, there was something else. A dull, slapping sound, something fleshy slapping against the floor.
She took a step. The sarcophagus watched. Another step.
Then she heard the growl behind her. It wasn't a dog growl.
She turned. She began shaking.
She saw the paws of the animal, and the long black claws. But it wasn't a dog. No, it had a long, pointed snout, open, teeth bared and glistening. Then Rachel noticed the rest of the animal.
She saw how the furry body suddenly changed midway to pinkish skin, how the back of the animal ended in dwarflike legs, ending in human feet.
I have to run, she thought. Have to get the hell out of here.
But the creature, as if reading her mind, opened its jaws.
As if saying... try it.
Try to run.
On three, Rachel told herself.
One, two — And then — All the lights went out...

Описание: What happens when Derek makes a promise he's unable to keep...

Язык: английский

Предысловие:
Since the beginning of time, Mankind has existed between the World of Light and the World of Darkness.
Our secret society has been here forever.
Protecting others from the creatures who inhabit the shadows and the night, known only to the initiated by our true name... The Legacy.
But for light to exist, darkness must also exist. And what falls in the shadows between is not always evil, but sometimes only lost...

Spiritual Siege.

Alex raised her head, her gray eyes glowing with sparks of indescribable color.
''You will give us the sworn one. He is ours. He will go with us and all will be as it was.'' The voice was sweet, reasonable, coaxing their hearts.
Derek said firmly, ''I cannot allow that.''
The wind hit the windows all at once, rattling the frames.
''If you're going to attack, get it over with,'' he said to the room at large. ''Enough with the talking! Take him, or leave us be!''
At his words, Alex's body shook like a marionette with tangled strings, her mouth opened, and a new voice came through. It cut through the warmth of the library like a serrated blade.
''Why do you interfere? By what right? Has he sworn to you as well?''
''No,'' Derek was forced to admit. "He has not. But he has asked us for aid and protection. To us, that is a tie as binding as any oath.''
The voice speaking within Alex hesitated, searching for the right word. It found one.
''Tough.''
And Alex collapsed on the floor.
