The MacKeltar clan is back. This time, Cian MacKeltar,
trapped in the Dark Glass, a mirror of unspeakable power,
for 11 centuries by a dark sorcerer, may finally have his
revenge. A mysterious event shattered the safeguards the
dark sorcerer placed around Cian's mirror and it and several
other objects were stolen and sold on the black market. Now
Cian must use his Druid powers to avoid recapture until
Samhain, for if the gold tithe is not paid, the compact is
broken and Cian will be free.
Jessi St. James is a graduate student in archeology at the
University of Chicago when she receives a phone call from
her professor asking her to take charge of a mysterious
shipment because he is in the hospital. She is stressed,
overworked, taken for granted, and needs to get a life.
Jessica has a funny feeling that this may be a life changing
event, but she has no idea how much it will change her life
until she hears a voice from inside the mirror--Over 6 feet
of man steps from the mirror to save her life, and share her
bed.
The author treats the reader to an erotic romp through the
modern day world as Cian and Jessi try to avoid detection by
the dark sorcerer and his minions using Cian's Druid skills
and find time to fall into each others arms, without Cian
getting sucked back into the mirror. Death follows them
wherever they go, until they reach the highlands of Scotland
where Cian is confronted with 2 men who claim they too are
MacKeltars. Visits from old friends, Drustan and Dageus and
their wives, and mysterious interference from the Tuatha De
Danaan keep the story fast paced. As Cian and Jessi's
relationship unfolds, the reader finds that Jessi is
searching for her one true love, and now that she believes
she has found him, he may die attempting his revenge and
leave her alone in a world that is no longer what she has
always assumed. This was a superb story and I can't wait to
read the next installment in the Highlander series.
Powerful. Sensual. Seductive. He is all that is shamelessly
erotic in a man. In her sexiest Highlander novel yet,
New
York Times bestselling author Karen Moning stirs up a
sizzling brew of ancient mystery and modern passion as she
brings together a devilishly handsome Celtic warrior
trapped
in time... and the woman who's about to pay the ultimate
price for freeing him. Age-old secrets haunt them. Deadly
danger and irresistible desire shadow their every move.
It's
a relationship for the ages. And all that separates them is
a mere eleven hundred years...
Jessi St. James has got to get a life. Too many hours
studying ancient artifacts has given the hardworking
archaeology student a bad case of sex on the brain. So she
figures she must be dreaming when she spies a gorgeous
half-naked man staring out at her from inside the silvery
glass of an ancient mirror. But when a split-second
decision
saves her from a terrifying attempt on her life, Jessi
suddenly finds herself confronting six and a half feet of
smoldering, insatiable alpha male.
Heir to the arcane magic of his Druid ancestors, eleven
centuries ago Cian MacKeltar was trapped inside the Dark
Glass, one of four coveted Unseelie Hallows, objects of
unspeakable power. When the Dark Glass is stolen, an
ancient
enemy will stop at nothing to reclaim it, destroying
everything in his path, including the one woman who may
just
hold the key to breaking the ninth-century Highlander's
dark
spell. For Jessi, the muscle-bound sex god in the mirror is
not only tantalizingly real, he's offering his protection,
from exactly what, Jessi doesn't know. And all he wants in
exchange is the exquisite pleasure of sharing her bed.
Yet even as Cian's insatiable hunger begins to work its
dark
magic on Jessi, his ancient enemy is about to obtain the
final and most dangerous of the Unseelie Hallows, and the
ninth-century Highlander must stop him from getting it.
Nothing less than the very fabric of the universe and two
passionately entwined lives are at stake, as Cian and Jessi
fight to claim the kind of love that comes along but once
in
an ice age...
