Trevor Dalton's Books

Llewellyn, the inaugural Prince of Wales, is renowned as a legendary warrior, seemingly unbeatable in combat. His confrontations with the Normans and his exceptional skills on the battlefield appear almost otherworldly. Numerous rumors circulate regarding his extraordinary strength, leaving even his own brother perplexed.

Llewellyn journeys to Carmarthen, where he uncovers Merlin’s prophecy and learns of his true lineage, destined to become a vampire. During a confrontation with a Norman knight, he is bitten by a female mosquito. This mosquito is subsequently crushed beneath the hooves of the combatants’ horses and remains trapped for the next five centuries.

In contemporary times, a fierce storm alters the river’s course, freeing the mosquito. Upon awakening, she embarks on a quest to reproduce and create her own lineage. Sarah and Lynette, both bitten by mosquitoes, find themselves inexplicably connected.

The characters central to the narrative converge at a hotel in Wales, their lives intricately intertwined as the plot progresses. Sarah uncovers her vampire heritage and her connection to Lynette. The bloodlust inherited from Llewellyn, combined with the demands of the mosquito brood mother, propels Sarah into a killing spree that ultimately leads to her downfall.

A Deeper Darkness serves as the haunting continuation of Trevor’s inaugural novel, The Possession Legacy, and chronicles Lynette’s maturation as a direct descendant of the Vampire Llewellyn. Beginning with her initial encounter with mosquitoes in Wales and culminating in her complete possession, this narrative explores the evolution of a contemporary vampire. With her first experience of blood, Lynette is resolute in her quest to embrace her heritage and amass the diverse experiences the world has to offer. Is it possible to halt her? With William, the brother of David, and the enigmatic child, Jay, as her primary challengers, the likelihood seems slim. Adding to the complications, Lynette embodies a vampire driven by more than mere bloodlust, and this tale propels readers from Wales to London, Bangkok, and Spain, culminating in a final assembly in Shirley, located in the Midlands. Will the affliction of Vampirism find its conclusion here?
