[Mage Tale Prequels 01] • When Darkness Falls · Book 0 of the Mage Tales Prequels

A bloodthirsty general. A witch with a secret. And a cataclysmic force that threatens to destroy them both.

*Rome, AD 79. Pompeii is burning. But out of the ashes, what will arise—hero or monster? *

My name is Titus Aurelius, and I do not want to tell you this story.

But a certain mage I am acquainted with feels otherwise. He insists there is some merit to my tale, though I doubt anyone is ready to bear the weight of it. To hear how I came to be both witch and vampire. How nothing in my life turned out quite as I expected. I did not intend to have a son. I did not intend to fall in love.

I did not intend to die.

(*When Darkness Falls* is a novella of approximately 33,000 words. It is Book 0 of the *Mage Tales Prequels*, but can easily be enjoyed as a stand-alone work).
