Recruited at his death to be a Protector of the Night, seventeen-year-old Daniel Graham has spent two-hundred years fighting Nightmares and guarding humans from the clawed, red-eyed creatures that feed off people's fears. Each night, he risks his eternal life, having given up his chance at an afterlife when he chose to become a Protector. That doesn't stop a burnt-out Daniel from risking daring maneuvers during each battle. He's become one of the best, but he wants nothing more than to stop. Then he's given an assignment to watch over sixteen-year-old Kayla Bartlett, a clinically depressed patient in a psychiatric ward. Nightmares love a human with a tortured past. Yet, when they take a deep interest in her, appearing in unprecedented numbers, the job becomes more dangerous than any Daniel's ever experienced. He fights ruthlessly to keep the Nightmares from overwhelming his team and Kayla. Soon, Daniel finds himself watching over Kayla during the day, drawn to why she's different, and what it is about her that attracts the Nightmares. And him. A vicious attack on Kayla forces Daniel to break the first Law and reveal his identity. Driven by his growing feelings for her, he whisks her away to Rome where others like him can keep her safe. Under their roof, the Protectors discover what Kayla is and why someone who can manipulate Nightmares has her in his sights. But before they can make a move, the Protectors are betrayed and Kayla is kidnapped. Daniel will stop at nothing to save her. Even if it means giving up his immortality.

They may have won the first battle, but the Apocalypse has just begun. Five weeks have passed since the battle that left Rome and Columbus in ruins. Sheltered in the hidden city of Caelum, Daniel and Kayla train alongside over one hundred Magus and Protectors, hoping that their unified ranks will be enough to take down their greatest threat yet: Richard, his followers, and his horde of Nightmares. Then a fallen comrade is returned to Caelum with a message carved into his chest and a note referencing the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and Daniel knows their time for training is over. Finally understanding Richard's plans for Kayla and the three other Magus born on Halloween, Daniel and the rest of Caelum's volunteers scout the U.S. in a desperate attempt to stop their enemy before he can unleash his first Horseman. But when massive attacks claim thousands of lives, people all over the world begin to fall ill-including those Daniel and Kayla care about the most. With the Horseman of Pestilence released, Daniel knows it's time to step aside and let Kayla take the lead. Only she has the power to rival her father's. But when Richard's plot turns out to be darker than they imagined, their fight is met with more death and destruction-and an enemy who might be unbeatable, after all.
