When Darkness Falls

By LM Morgan

1115 A.D.
(Way before the entire Black Rose series even began...)

Back when the world was still a simple and pure place. A time when evil had been banished. Locked away in Hell while good reigned supreme on Earth. The Devil and almighty ruler of Hell, Lucifer, had been bested, imprisoned for all eternity, but there were gaps to his enslavement in the netherworld. Because of such loopholes, the malevolent being is determined to enjoy his spoils whenever he can—whatever the cost.

When Darkness Falls and the creatures of monstrous myth are unbound, can the innocent remain pure and untainted by their lure? Do they truly want to, or is the seduction too hard for those open to him to ignore or deny...

Please note:

This short story contains no spoilers.

An important message from the author.

Before you read this story, please be ready to delve into a dark and taboo world of demons and angels who can and will do as they please. The series this story prequels will immerse you in a world filled with dark places and even darker beings. They are not human, and do not act the way you and I act or think the way you and I think. Please be ready for some controversial themes and for me to push the boundaries.

I tell you this not just because there are adult scenes or a few taboo subjects, but because I mean it, and would hate to give you any false expectations about happy endings and softly, softly romance. The Black Rose series is not for everyone, and I know that, so please decide if you’re ready before diving in.

If you’re on the fence or have heard the rumours of the depravities and darkness that await you, please assume they are all true. I can understand how some readers were upset and discouraged by the thought of some of the darker themes, but urge you to trust me…

What’s he into this month? the demon and fallen angel, Leviathan, asked his fellow minion of Hell, Beelzebub. His scruffy friend shrugged.

Virgins? was his attempt at an answer, but even the usually so astute demon didn’t seem so sure. Go with that. Either way, just get something sorted, otherwise we’ll both be in his bad books, and we can’t have that. Not with All Hallow’s Eve coming up.

Leviathan grinned and rubbed his hands together. He loved this time of year, when they all took the opportunity to quite literally raise some hell. Everything was already neatly arranged. All he had to do was lure in
