Publisher's Synopsis
NIGHTER Working in the Special Forces may seem like an attractive life, but the stress of risking your life on a daily basis is not east. For some, the adrenaline is a way of life, and that's the life chosen by Jerzy Arlecki, the hero of Nighter. Jerzy is ready to serve his country, ready to sacrifice everything for patriotism. He is given a new life, a new identity, and a new mission: fighting the renegades, a sect of vampires who are developing new and ever-more-brutal hunting tactics, and are expanding their army at a dangerous rate. Jerzy faces a choice: should he offer his own life? What would happen if he became a vampire himself? If you think vampires do not exist, then you were wrong. *** RENEGADE Jerzy Arlecki once refused to believe in vampires, let alone a special crack unit that protects the human race against the blood thirsty creatures. When he wakes up to the Night, he vows that he will always be on the side of the good and righteous. But can he keep his promise? A wounded nighter passes into the hands of the renegades: Vesper, the legend who dared to assassinate Lord Ultor. The renegades cannot allow him to die from his wounds, so they turn him from a nighter into a full-fledged vampire, dependent on the blood of humans. Life in the ranks of his former enemy is a challenge for him. To some, he is a traitor and a murderer. To others, he is the enemy. How will Vesper find himself in his new role? Who is lying and who can he trust? Where does righteousness end and evil begin? *** NOBODY There is no place for Vesper amongst either the nighters or the renegades now. The rules that had once governed the vampire world have collapsed in the face of a new threat. Humanity has seen the truth. The Vatican has unleashed a religious frenzy, which leaves the nighters helpless. They cannot kill people. All they can do is rescue the renegades and try to control their fearsome predatory instincts. However, those on the dark side of the Night will not talk to the nighters, and thus begins a desperate struggle to survive. Even in the pits of despair, seeds of hope sprout from the former friends of the cursed Vesper. The end is only the beginning. Is there is something more than Destiny?
