"And what rough beast, it's hour come round at last- is born!" ~ Yeats

 Frightful signs in the heavens and on earth...

'A Gathering Darkness' is the exciting first book in the Valerian Series, a contemporary urban fantasy where 16th and 21st centuries collide. What comes after will change everything! 

Most know me as Kaelynn Carroll, Theo's fiance, curator of the New York Museum of Art. What you don't know, is the darkness that stirs within me, a Pandora's Box of hunger and anger and disease.

What began as a simple trip to Britain to catalog a 16th Century Art collection would soon turn into a nightmare beyond anything I could imagine. For you see, between the darkness beneath the museum, and the return trip home, I lived another's life, another reality. Inadvertently I set something free.

Portuguese Edition-

Um novo prodígio, enfatiza  E. Finlayson de Staffordshire, UK.Este livro pode igualmente ser  apreciado tanto como um livro adulto, quanto juvenil. O elenco é fora do comum e o autor constrói o suspense e a atmosfera da história habilidosamente. Assim como outros críticos, eu dificilmente diria que esta história acaba aqui, e eu espero muito pelo Livro 2. Like other reviewers I could hardly put it down until it was finished, and I hope very much for a Book 2. 

Italian Edition-

 “Per rinascere, una fenice deve morire!”
Se avessi l’opportunità di cambiare la storia, lo faresti?
Immagina di essere un tredicenne solo al mondo, che vive per le strade della contorta e frenetica New York, di non avere alcun luogo per riposare, alcun luogo da chiamare tuo. Immagina che tutto ciò che sapevi essere vero, la storia della tua famiglia, del tuo paese, la ragione stessa della tua esistenza fosse una bugia, qualcosa che nessun altro al mondo conosce.
