Darkness Falls, a small northern British Columbia community, is nestled in the northernmost access to the Rocky Mountains where the rugged wilderness, the vast back-country, and the lakes, rivers and streams are untouched and pristine. The area is well-known for its fishing and diversity of wildlife, including moose, black and grizzly bear, mountain sheep, goat, caribou, elk, lynx and of course, wolf. This is how Darkness Falls thrives – its natural diversity is a lure for tourists and shifters alike. Many come to visit, some don’t leave. Darkness Falls is a haven for shifters and too many things can go wrong. Humans and shifters working together, playing together, sleeping together. The four packs that claim territory around Darkness falls try to be civilized, try to work with each other and the humans to co-exist and protect the community, but in the pack, human rules don’t apply and where pack justice is concerned, the lines between humans and shifters get blurred. It’s dark in Darkness Falls, even when the sun is shining. Shifters of Darkness Falls is a paranormal contemporary romance suspense series with no cliffhangers, no cheating, and sexy happy endings.
