Taya is camping with some girlfriends when a strange blue
cloud suddenly engulfs them, and there is nothing left of
her friends but ashes. What in the world just happened? She
rushes to fill her backpack and try to find other survivors
but what she discovers are strange armored warriors on
equally armored horseback leading away slaves, the only
survivors of the towns. With the men talking about reaping,
earthen and Arkavia, Taya must face the fact that the earth
had been invaded but not by little green men in a flying
saucer but by men who look human who have magic and use a
portal between their world and hers.
Now Taya is bent on survival, revenge for the death of her
friends and family and the destruction of the earth she
knew. And she will find help in a place she could not
expect, Thane, second son of the House of Jericho captures
her and finds that within her is magic. So instead of slave,
she will become part of his guard. He will train her and
keep her safe -- and she will have her vengeance. Just not
as she expected.
THE NIGHT HOUSE is an amazing journey that will take readers
with Taya as she goes from a carefree young woman to a
warrior in another dimension. Through the journey, she and
Thane become more than she expects and the danger is bigger
and worse than either imagines. Thane, too, is trying to
survive in his world. His father and brother are not the
nicest of men, but even he does not know the depth of their
depravity. And when he learns the truth, he does what has to
be done to ensure things like this do not happen again.
Sorry -- read THE NIGHT HOUSE to get your answers.
THE NIGHT HOUSE is a complex, intriguing and entertaining
world and the journey is fraught with danger, but each step
she learns who these people are that would destroy the
earthen world. In the midst of the evil, she finds friends,
a kind of family and answers that she hoped to find and ones
she feared.
I must warn readers not to make the same mistake I did in
reading THE NIGHT HOUSE. Do not pick up the book and think
you will read a couple of chapters before bed. This world
will draw you in so fast that before you know it you have
finished the book and it is dawn!
What would you pay for your freedom? Caught by a powerful
lord from the alternate realm of Arkavia, Taya’s
offered the chance to avenge the dead, save her home world,
and win her freedom. Her days of stealing supplies and
surviving among the remnants of Earth are over, but can she
afford the price of Lord Thane’s deal?
