Sons of the Dark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sons of the Dark is a book series that was spun-off from Lynne Ewing's best-selling Daughters of the Moon series.
This series is about four very different young teenage boys living in Los Angeles. They are all immortal and all four have to try to fit in. Each boy also fights their dark sides. They each have different powers and the Sons must complete their destinies and stop the people of Nefandus from invading the Earth's realm.
The series will not continue due to poor sales. Its companion series, Daughters of the Moon will continue. The Sons may show up in the Daughters series.
