Sons of the Dark is the male companion series to Lynne Ewing’s Daughters of the Moon. The four books — Barbarian (2004), Escape (2004), Outcast (2005), and Night Sun (2005) — follow teenage boys with supernatural powers in the same mythological universe as the Daughters.
Barbarian introduces the male characters and their connection to the mythological forces at work in the broader universe. Escape continues the story in 2004, while Outcast and Night Sun closed the series in 2005. The boys face threats that overlap with the Daughters of the Moon storyline, giving readers who followed both series a fuller picture of Ewing’s world.
The series was published by Disney’s Hyperion imprint and targeted the same YA audience as Daughters of the Moon. Readers can enjoy Sons of the Dark on its own, but those who read it alongside its sister series will catch more of the connections between the two casts.
