Nightfall

Jason isn't afraid of monsters. He is a native of Brunswick, the small town where the weird, magical, undead, and otherworldly live alongside humans in peace. What Jason does fear is middle school. To his relief, he makes a new friend immediately—Alex, a vampire and fellow Brunswickan. When Jason finds himself pursued by an unknown enemy with deadly intent, Alex and his formidable housemates take the boy under their protection. It soon becomes apparent that the ancient prophecies they have been studying are inextricably linked to Jason’s current crisis.

On another continent, a teenager named Richie is desperately searching for someone who might explain why his nightmares come true and how to make it stop. An encounter with a werewolf almost ends his quest for good, but he is rescued by an eccentric stranger who believes Richie can get answers from the maddeningly elusive physician Sally Kitch. Someone, however, is determined that Richie and Sally never meet.

As both boys realize that their problems are much bigger than they could have imagined, battle lines are drawn in Brunswick. Two races of powerful beings gather soldiers and prepare for war, with Jason and Richie caught up in the midst of an incipient Armageddon.
