The Dark One: Vicious Lost Boys, Book 2

Neverland will swallow you whole if you let it—and the boys who rule this island are more than happy to watch.

In this wickedly dark reimagining of the Peter Pan mythos, the second installment of the Vicious Lost Boys series plunges deeper into a Neverland that is nothing like the one whispered about in bedtime stories. The island breathes with malice, the forest keeps its secrets close, and the fragile peace our protagonist has carved out among Peter and his Lost Boys is crumbling fast.

War is no longer a distant threat. The fae queen sharpens her claws while Captain Hook plots his revenge, both hungry for dominion over an island that refuses to be tamed. Caught in the crossfire of their ambitions, the Never King fights to reclaim his missing shadow—without it, his grip on his throne grows weaker by the day. And weakness, in Neverland, is an invitation.

She should fear these men. They are dangerous, morally compromised, and utterly ruthless. Instead, she finds herself drawn deeper into their orbit, tangled in loyalties she never asked for and desires she cannot name. Every stolen glance, every charged silence, every moment of unexpected tenderness makes the battle lines between enemy and protector harder to distinguish.

In a world where darkness is currency and trust is the most dangerous thing you can offer, she must decide whose side she is truly on—before Neverland makes the choice for her.
