Barak q'Young is a warrior (sort of retired) for the
Others -- the people of another dimension who will do
almost
anything to escape into this one. He wouldn't use his gift
to help his people escape their world, as he knew it meant
almost certain death, so he was banished.
Unable to leave this world and return to his own, Barak is
put to work by the Paladins, his former enemies. He spends
his days assisting Lacey Sebastian, a gorgeous geologist
working to predict the earthquakes that plague this world
and so often open a portal between the two worlds, causing
death to Paladin and Other alike. At first, Lacey is
disgusted by her attraction to a hated Other, but soon
discovers Barak is not so different from her brother and
the other Paladins. Drawn to him despite her efforts to
quell the budding romance, Lacey discovers love may hold
the answers she's been looking for -- or may not. Then
she's
kidnapped and her very survival may depend on the love of a
former enemy.
IN DARKNESS REBORN, Ms. Morgan's third book in her Paladins
of Darkness series was exciting, intriguing, passionate and
fulfilling. The characters fit right into the Paladin
backdrop and the story seamlessly carries on the saga. Pick
this one up and don't forget the first two novels in the
series, DARK DEFENDER and DARK PROTECTOR. A good read and a
great series with which to spend part of your summer.
Alexis Morgan continues her red-hot paranormal
series with a mysterious warrior and his forbidden love
for a woman who's allegiance lies with his sworn
enemy. . . .
Once a warrior for the Others,
Barak q'Young is caught between two worlds -- exiled from
his homeland, and a pariah among his enemies, the
Paladins. While hunting a betrayer who's selling the
precious blue gems that light the Others' world, Barak
must aid geologist Lacey Sebastian in her research for the
Paladins. Barak is instantly drawn to the fiery, beautiful
woman, but Lacey initially despises the enemy intruder.
Soon she sees beyond his violent past, though, finding the
dark warrior intriguing -- and extremely sexy.
Though
neither can resist the passion that blazes between them,
Barak is torn between loyalties, hiding a secret gift that
could prove useful to Lacey's research, at the sacrifice
of his own people. But when Lacey is kidnapped and held
hostage, Barak realizes he will do anything to save
her . . . even risk his own life.
