The Dark Awakening: A Young Adult Vampire and Witch Romance & Urban Fantasy

This series is perfect for readers who enjoy young adult slow-burn romances. It includes vampires, witches, and elemental magic. Other tropes in the series include fated mates, past lives, kidnapping, a villain obsessed with the heroine, and forbidden love.

To defeat the vampire who hunts for her blood, she must become the monster she fears most.

One year ago, Mercy was the victim of a brutal attack. Now, she faces a new threat that lurks in the shadows of her fear, and there's no one to trust.

Secrets begin to reveal themselves to Mercy, and she's thrown into a haunting, supernatural world. Vampires, witches, and werewolves roam the land, and as newfound power grows within her, Mercy must decide where her heart and strength lie. To become a warrior and fight the monsters who thirst for her blood, or to open her heart to love and the man in her dreams-visions of her past life she doesn't remember.

If you enjoyed L. J. Smith's The Vampire Diaries, and the hit TV dramas Charmed & Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you'll enjoy this exciting paranormal romance with twists you won't see coming.

"This book had me in another world without realizing I'd left my own. I easily found myself lost in this adventure with Mercy, the main character. It's written in a way that feels very genuine and gives you the opportunity to get to know the cast before the fireworks go off, and man, do they go off!"

Author Notes:

For a spicy, adult edition of this story, download Stalked: Blood of the Chosen, book one, written under my second pen name, D.L. Blade.

The Dark Awakening was initially published in 2018, under my second pen name, D.L. Blade.

Since then, I've rewritten the same story and had it re-edited by Courtney Caccavallo. The story contains 100 more pages than the original, new scenes, removed scenes, and an added prologue from Dorian's POV. This edition features mild language and violence. Intended for a 13+ audience.

Full content warnings can be found on D.L. Blade's website. Link is listed before chapter 1 in the ebook.
