Of Love and Darkness is the beginning of a new shape-shifter series. In the Twisted Fate Series, there are two kinds of shifters: Rakshasa and Light Ones. The Rakshasa want to snack on human bones. The Light Ones want to protect the humans. Unfortunately, the Rakshasa are currently winning the battle, as the Light Ones are not fertile. Only one type of Light One, exceedingly rare females called Chala, are able to produce children. The Rakshasa know this, and have managed to nearly decimate the population. Enter Gavin Rowan, a cursed Rakshasa who believes he is a Light One. He feels all his Rakshasa urges to kill, but has been cursed to protect the Light Ones instead of kill them. Throw Sydney Amataya into the mix. She is a Chala - except she doesn't know it. At least not until Gavin saves her from a Rakshasa attack and then declares her as his mate. But Sydney doesn't play like that. If he wants to mate with her - once she gets over the shock of discovering this supernatural world, that is - he's going to have to woo her, impress her, wine and dine her. Romance her. She deserves no less, end of the world be damned.
