and earth since only together can they beat them?
Any book starring Templar Knights has my vote and IMMORTAL
HOPE weaves an intriguing tale about these immortals that
protect mankind from all types of evil. The world building
draws you in and keeps you hooked with its incredible plot
twists and turns. A fresh new paranormal series featuring
fully fleshed out characters, plenty of action and a
simmering passion. My one small complaint is the heroine
burying her head and not focusing on the big picture but
concentrating more on her desires instead of the fate of
heaven and earth.
Centuries ago, Templar knights defied the archangels and
unearthed the copper scroll that revealed the locations of
the gates to hell. Cursed for their forbidden act, they now
roam the earth, protecting mankind from evil. But darkness
stalks them, and battles they fight bring them ever closer
to eternal damnation. One promise remains to give them
salvation—the return of the seraphs.
Embittered by his purpose, Merrick du Loire must honor an
ancient pact and bring peace to his cousin’s soul, releasing
him from the clutches of their enemy. When he stumbles upon
history professor Anne MacPherson, he discovers that she
possesses a sacred artifact that marks her as a seraph. Duty
demands he set aside his personal quest and locate the
knight she’s fated to heal. As Merrick struggles with
conflicting oaths, Anne arouses buried hope and sparks
forbidden desire that challenges everything he’s sworn to
uphold.
Anne has six weeks to complete her thesis on the Knights
Templar. When Merrick takes her to the Templar stronghold,
he presents her with all she needs—and awakens a soul-deep
ache that he alone can soothe. Yet loving Merrick comes with
a price. If she admits she is destined for him, her gift of
foresight predicts his death.
