I'm thrilled to share the first of an exciting new dystopian duology by J.F. Johns, called After Darkness! Read on for an exclusive excerpt, book details, and a chance to win a print copy of Eternal Darkness, the first book in her exciting dystopian series of the same name!
After Darkness (Book One)
Excerpt
'My name is Terra Underwood, by the way.'
'Didn't ask.'
'I know, thought you should know anyway.'
She heard him sigh.
'I'm Kalem.' A few seconds passed and then, 'Kalem Akuma.'
'Akuma? Seriously?'
'It means demon.'
She couldn't help but think it was rather fitting.
'Well, Underwood means 'wood that is under.' What exactly it's under we'll never know.'
'Is that meant to be a joke?'
'Everything I say is meant as a joke.'
She could almost hear him smile, and that brought her own lips to twist upwards. She closed her eyes, feeling suddenly at ease and comfortable.
'Good night, wood that is under.'
Terra's smile deepened.
'Good nigh, demon.'

The world is divided between humans and cyborgs. Scarlet Lock is neither. She is a soldier created to kill on command. But her memory has been erased and when she awakens in a government facility she soon discovers that this new world is a dangerous place, full of government secrets and cruel experiments performed in the name of progress. With the help of a group of cyborgs, Scarlet will fight to uncover the truth and transform the future of the new world she now lives in. Eternal Darkness is full of suspense, action and romance and will make readers question what it means to be human.
J.F.Johns is 27 years old and was born and raised in Spain. She studied English Literature and Creative Writing at ARU in Cambridge, UK. She won the Indie Book Awards 2017 for best book written by an author under the age of 25, and was a finalist for best book cover with her novel Eternal Darkness. She’s an animal lover, and spends her free time playing with her adopted dog and rescued cat, drinking too much coffee and posting book photos on her Instagram. She believes in the art of dramatic sighing and eye rolling. She works as a ninja, but has been told several times that she’s not very good at her job.
