His father left him a silver cross. He also left him a secret.
When twelve-year-old James Ailing leaves England with his widowed mother to begin a new life in a quiet New York village, he hopes the pain of losing his father is finally behind him. Instead, he finds himself haunted by strange abilities he cannot explain and drawn toward mysteries that seem to surround his family.
Under the guidance of the wise Father Riley and with the unwavering friendship of Anna Davis, James slowly uncovers the truth about the silver cross his father gave him and the dark legacy hidden within his own blood. As ancient vampires emerge from the shadows, James must choose whether to fear the extraordinary gifts he possesses or learn to use them to protect the people he loves.
From peaceful country churches and moonlit forests to desperate battles against creatures of the night, James and Anna discover that courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to stand together when darkness comes.
The Night Child is the captivating first book in The Night Child Saga, a coming-of-age fantasy filled with mystery, friendship, faith, suspense, and unforgettable adventure. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven fantasy where hope shines brightest in the darkest night.
Every legend has a beginning. This is James Ailing's.
