It wasn't until Pan and Neverland that I finally felt alive.
But things are not all full of magic and sunlight on the island. There's something darker and more sinister haunting the forest.
And worse, the fae queen and Captain Hook are ready to fight for control of Neverland and they will stop at nothing to get what they want. Including using the one thing Pan never thought he wanted or needed -- me. I'm a descendant of the Darling family and now I belong to him and the Lost Boys.
War is brewing -- can the Never King get his shadow back and assume his rightful throne? And if he does, where will I fit?
Or will all of Neverland be in jeopardy right along with my dark, twisted heart?
NOTE: The Dark One is book two in the Vicious Lost Boys series. It is a dark reimagining of Peter and Wendy. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy The Dark One and the Lost Boys. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes.

Vicious Lost Boys
Vicious Lost Boys
3 books in catalog
Dark fantasy romance stories featuring morally grey villains and high-stakes power dynamics have reached widespread readership through bestselling titles like The Never King, the opening entry in the popular Vicious Lost Boys series. Author Nikki St. Crowe has established a prominent presence in dark romantasy and paranormal romance, regularly topping bestseller lists with high-heat reimaginings of classic tropes where anti-heroes take center stage and female protagonists claim their own power.
Before achieving commercial success in dark romance, Nikki St. Crowe began her creative journey in grade school, placing second in a fourth-grade Young Author's Competition with a story centered on a magical mansion filled with treasure. She initially published children's fiction through traditional publishing routes in the mid-2000s. After a colleague suggested she pivot to romance in 2016, she began reading authors like Laurell K. Hamilton and embraced the paranormal subgenre. Seeking greater autonomy over her creative path, she transitioned to independent publishing in 2018. Today, when she is not writing or plotting, she resides near Lake Michigan with her husband and daughter, often spending time in the woods or watching sunsets along the shore.
St. Crowe's narrative style is defined by fast-paced plotting, explicit spice, and sinister fairytale or mythic atmospheric settings paired with gothic fairytale background music during her drafting process. Her books feature dark paranormal elements, morally grey anti-heroes, monsters, and fierce female leads who gain agency rather than submitting to traditional heroic conventions. By shifting focus away from conventional heroes toward complex villains, her works emphasize female empowerment, dark intrigue, and intense romantic suspense.
