    The greatest vampires are not born. They are made.

    It’s 1825 Paris, where a few rich men live like kings, but most people barely survive. But sixteen-year-old Damon isn’t interested in wealth. He wants revenge.

    For years, Damon has served Aurélien, the sadistic heir to the De La Coeur fortune. And for years he’s been plotting, watching, waiting for the moment to avenge his family by killing their murderer, Aurélien’s father, Olivier.

    But on the night when Damon plans to strike, he’s accused of a murder he didn’t commit and Olivier has slipped away once again. Beaten within an inch of his life, Damon’s only chance is to do the unimaginable.

    Sometimes the only way to destroy an impossible enemy is to die.

     Reviews for the darkness inside

    "The Darkness Inside’ is the perfect read for anyone who loves to be sucked into a world where the beaten down rise further than they can handle. It's a story that grips its teeth into your imagination and once you get a taste of it, you never want it to stop."

    - Melanie Naumann, Story Consultant, Stories in Songs

    “This is the prequel story to the ‘Into The Darkness’ series and what a great intro! Despite this only being 50, or so, pages this was a fast-paced ride set in 1820’s Paris about class struggle, love, hate, revenge, and the lengths someone will go to avenge the ones they love. It tells the beginning of Damon while also setting up for really interesting things in the future and I’m really excited to see where this story will go!”

    - Miranda, Bookstagrammer, @probably_reading_right_now_

    “This is a unique, captivating take on the origin story of a young vampire, set in elegant but socially divided 19th-century France. As I read, I shared Damon’s desire for vengeance. When the time finally came, things turned out to be far worse than I thought. I can’t wait to read what comes next!”

    - Nicolas Lemieux, Sci-fi Author

    “Man, do I love an origin story, especially a vampire origin story, and this one has bite. ‘The Darkness Inside’ is fun, quick-paced, and as dark as the title implies. It will leave you wanting more of Damon and his world. Fans of Anne Rice, Deborah Harkness, and Stephenie Meyer will eat this up (pun totally intended).”

    -Kendra Alvey, Author of the Award-winning young adult Sam the Spectator series

    “This rich crudité of a tale is woven by C. Darkly at a suspenseful, thrilling pace. You'll find all of the dark magic you know and love from your favorite vampire stories with plenty of novel twists and surprises to provide fresh, unexpected delights.”

    - Christiane Erwin, Author of Jude’s Diary
