An ancient race lurks in the darkness, steering humanity for centuries in a direction which suits their desires. All the while, the Earth’s population remain largely oblivious to their existence.

When an archaeological discovery is made, these creatures are forced to respond, setting off a bloody chain of events which could result in their downfall.

Journalist Amy finds herself embroiled in a career-changing story but soon discovers that reality is far different to what she had previously believed. With Lily, her terminally ill daughter, to care for, Amy is forced to make horrific decisions as she faces monsters that should be confined to nightmares. What would Amy sacrifice to save her child? Can a path of darkness ever bring light to the world? Will humanity survive the impending storm of brutality?

Lead Me to the Dark is the gritty, blood-spattered debut novel from James Twyman.
