(4) 4-6 Knights of the Borrowed Dark series. In the second installment, Denizen's life has (kinda) returned to normal--which for him includes dealing with monsters and understanding the powers Mercy left within him. A meeting between the Knights and Tenebrae reveals the cultish Croits, who worship an ancient Tenebrous. Rudden creates two intriguing focal points with the Knights and Croits; however, following both complicates the story line and makes it difficult to connect with the characters.
