Cailleach na Shadowthorn 6.I gcruinne comhthreomhar le NightGlen, a bhí lán le draíocht agus rúndiamhra freisin, bhí tiarna dorcha ann darbh ainm Damus. Bhí a uaillmhian agus a tart chun cumhachta doshásamh, rud a d'fhág go raibh sé ag lorg tiarnas iomlán thar gach ríocht aitheanta. Mar sin féin, bhí fórsa ina choinne - NightGlen, ríocht draíochtúil faoi sholas na gealaí agus á cosaint ag caomhnóirí gan eagla. Áit a raibh síocháin agus comhchuibheas ann ba ea NightGlen, áit a raibh créatúir draíochta ag comhaireachtáil le daoine agus draíocht ag sreabhadh go saor trína fhoraoisí draíochtúla. Ach bhí Damus, lena arm scáthanna agus a chuid ealaíon dorcha, meáite ar an tír seo a thumadh isteach sa dorchadas síoraí.De réir mar a chuaigh Damus ar aghaidh go dian i dtreo NightGlen, d'ullmhaigh na caomhnóirí don chath deiridh. Faoi stiúir laoch óg gan eagla darbh ainm Arion, bhí siad sásta gach rud a íobairt chun a dteach agus gach rud a raibh grá acu dó a chosaint. Bhí an cath ina dhiaidh sin eipiciúil agus fíochmhar, le troideanna cumhachtaí draíochta agus trasnú claimhte. Léirigh Damus a chruachás agus a tart chun scrios a dhéanamh, agus throid Bryan agus a chaomhnóirí le crógacht agus le diongbháilteacht. Ar feadh nóiméad, bhí an chuma air go bhféadfadh NightGlen géilleadh don dorchadas.Mar sin féin, nuair a bhí an chuma ar gach rud caillte, tharla rud gan choinne. Osclaíodh tairseach mistéireach sa spéir agus tá ollmhór ag éirí as. Malphas a bhí ann, Scriostóir na Cruinne. Bhí a phleananna féin aige do NightGlen agus ní raibh in Damus ach saighdiúir ar a chlár fichille cosmaí.Nuair a chonaic an Tiarna Damus an bua a bhí aige ar tí dul i ngleic le sárchumhacht Malphas, chinn sé gach rud a chur i mbaol in aon ghníomh misnigh deiridh amháin. D'úsáid sé an chumhacht a bhí fágtha aige chun NightGlen a shábháil, á sheoladh ar ais go dtí a chruinne bunaidh sular shlogtar é ag an vortex ama a chruthaigh Malphas.Anois bhí NightGlen slán, ach sracadh an Tiarna Damus óna shaol agus caitheadh isteach i gceann scríbe nua anaithnid é. Agus an réimse draíochtúil ag teacht chucu féin ó scrios an chatha, bhí Arion agus na caomhnóirí ag smaoineamh ar cad a bhí ag fanacht le Damus thar thairseach an dorchadais. Seo scéal an Tiarna Damus, finscéal uaillmhianach agus titime, misnigh agus fuascailte. Saga a bheidh macalla ar fud na ríochtaí, ag meabhrú do gach neach leochaileacht na cumhachta agus na hiarmhairtí a bhaineann le géilleadh don dorchadas.Anois déan réidh le dul ar thuras lán de chontúirtí agus fionnachtana. Buail le carachtair shuimiúla, nocht rúin ársa, agus faigh amach an rúndiamhra taobh thiar de Scriostóir na Cruinne. Tá an cath idir an solas agus an dorchadas díreach tosaithe, agus tá cinniúint an Tiarna Damus agus NightGlen i lámha na léitheoirí gan eagla ar "The Witch of Shadowthorn (6)."

Here you'll encounter vampires, elves, ghosts, and at least one human-monster hybrid. The vampire stories in the first half of the book are part of an ongoing series in which the creatures we know as vampires belong to a naturally evolved, nonhuman species secretly living among us.
