That's what war does for you. Either kills you in one hit or destroys you slowly. One way or the other, it gets you.

Unless you fight back.

Darkness, Be My Friend continues the story of the multi-award winning 'Tomorrow: When the War Began' series.

"This is a book that is hard to put down. It's grim, it's conscious-raising, it's gripping in its intensity and its intrigue. It's Marsden at his best!" - Geelong Advertiser.

"Again it's a Marsden triumph, an exhilarating mix of raw courage and blinding fear..." - The Mercury.

"Each book has its place in the tone and tenor of the series, but Darkness, Be My Friend is one of the best... Like ancient myths, the stories confront the purpose of life, death, betrayal, killing, love, hate, revenge, selflessness, sacrifice and, in this most recent book, faith." - The Age.
