The third book in the Darkness and Light series, Where There Was Darkness begins where Dark Night of the Soul ends.Waking up from his nightmare, Marcus finds he is not what Gregor made him, but neither is he what he was born to be.  Having kept his promise to keep Gregor from taking another and having no education or skills; he believes he has nothing to offer the people he loves. Marcus, prepared to take his last breathe, is prevented from doing so by Chief Daniels, who helps show him that there are reasons to live.  Gregor, though no longer among the living, seems to walk beside and live within him,  and Marcus is afraid of the monster he may not be able to control.  With Chief Daniels help, he finds a way to use his skills to carve out a path he is proud to walk.

At fifteen Marcus is taken by a man of unnatural abilities and is forced to live a nightmare.  Gregor, once a victim of his parent's abuse chooses to hate those who are most like the crying child he once was, torturing those showing the strength he never had.             Having held Marcus for thirteen years of torture, Gregor chooses to infect Marcus, forever changing him.  Blood is shared and a new nightmare begins.  Trapped, painfully tormented by what he's been forced to become, Marcus clings to the humanity Gregor tried to erase.  On the night he was to make his first kill, Marcus rescues the little girl and makes his escape.            Twenty years later Gregor returns to the New England town where Marcus escaped him.  The killing begins. Maddy, recognizing Marcus, knows what he has been forced to become but also sees who he really is. Haunted by nightmares of her close encounter with a terrible death, knowing Gregor, has returned, Maddy decides she must help destroy the monster that shaped both their lives. It is with Maddy that Marcus faces his biggest challenge. Will he give in to his unnatural desires or save the soul he has fought so long to keep.             The city of Norwich is besieged by a monster they do not understand.  As the bodies mount, the town's citizens hide in terror behind bolted doors.  Maddy enlists the aid of her brother and with Chief Daniels they work together with one goal: stop Gregor before he kills again.  As the hunt continues, Marcus finds he must fight not only for himself, but for the those he has come to love.
