There are four books in the Darkness Chosen series: SCENT OF DARKNESS, TOUCH OF DARKNESS, INTO THE SHADOW and INTO THE FLAME.
The Parents: Cursed by the memories of his vicious deeds, Konstantine understands the pleasures of turning into a predator — the freedom, the sense of being better than normal people — and how those pleasures deliver a man right into the hands of the devil. He urges his sons to control their urge to change. Yet he also knows that someday, the Varinskis will come for their vengeance, and so he trains his children for war.
The Children:
|
Konstantine Varinski (68), former leader
of the Varinskis. He successfully led the clan of mercenaries and
assassins as both a man and a wolf, keeping his position through
cruelty and ruthlessness — until the day he kidnapped Zorana from
her Romany clan. He was thirty-three, she was sixteen, beloved among
her people for her spirit and beauty as well as her prophetic visions.
Never since the first Konstantine made a deal with the devil had
a Varinski fallen in love. The couple fled the fury of both his family
and her tribe. They immigrated to America, changed their last name
to Wilder, settled in the mountains in Washington and raised grapes
and children. 
Zorana Wilder (51), who for the thirty-five years
of her marriage has not suffered a vision, until one night she receives
a terrible prophecy — that the battle between good and evil
has been joined, that her sons are warriors, and that her husband’s
soul hangs in the balance.
Jasha Wilder (34), the oldest Wilder
son. Gold eyes and black hair. The president of Wilder Wines, Jasha
is the first to be called into battle with the Varinskis. When he
turns, Jasha is a wolf willing to do whatever it takes to protect
his family — and the woman that is his destiny.
Rurik Wilder (33), the second son. Reddish-brown
eyes and brown hair. A former Air Force pilot grounded by tragedy,
now an archeologist, he hunts for the clue that will help him break
the pact that ruined his life. He finds the woman he loves … the
woman he must deceive, the woman who would do anything to destroy
him.
Adrik
Wilder (32), the third son, and the boy who
ignored his father’s counsel and indulged in the pleasures
of being a panther and a predator. Over twelve years ago, he disappeared
into Asia. No one has heard from him since.
Firebird Wilder (21), the first daughter born to
a Varinski in a thousand years. Konstantine calls her a miracle,
her family adores her, she’s intelligent, witty, beautiful — and
she hides a terrible secret.
