Sybils, an ancient race of warrior priestesses, have been
fighting the battle between good and evil for centuries.
Now they find themselves up against their greatest foe, the
Legion, in a battle that could mean the end of all Sybils.
Riana Dumain's power is grounded in Earth. The other
members of her triad are Merilee, grounded in air, and
Cynda, grounded in fire. When their friend Andy, an NYPD
officer with the Occult Crimes Unit, brings them a case
involving the murder of a senator's son, she unknowingly
brings into their midst a demon in the form of her partner,
Creed Lowell.
The three Sybils recognize immediately the Other in Creed,
but it's Riana who's attracted to the man and brings him
into their world, knowing it could mean danger for her and
others like her. When the Legion attacks the Sybils on
their home turf, Andy and Creed join their fight, and Creed
is forced to reveal the demon residing within, a demon
controlled only by the ring he wears. When the symbol on
the ring is connected to the Legion, and Creed's true
nature is revealed, all that Riana holds dear is
threatened. She's forced to choose between her past and the
fight she believes in, and the man she loves, and only by
making the right decision will Riana and her friends
triumph.
BOUND BY SHADOW is the first of Ms. Windsor's Dark Crescent
Sisterhood novels. This paranormal adventure introduces
readers to the world of Sybils, Cursons and Asmodai in a
storyline that's both entertaining and intriguing. Riana is
an intelligent, strong lead, guided by her sense of right
and wrong, but in touch with her softer side that lets her
believe in love when all around her is falling apart. Creed
is the perfect foil for Riana, bound by duty and torn by
the demon he has trouble controlling. The world of the
Sybils is definitely a place I look forward to visiting in
the future.
Riana Dumain is a fully trained Sibyl, a warrior priestess
battling evil whose practical magic keeps her grounded in
earthly
science--and desires. She knows that gorgeous NYPD
detective Creed Lowell is dangerous, and possibly a foot
soldier for the evil Legion cult, using his badge and drop-
dead looks to consolidate demonic power.
Creed's low profile Occult Crimes Unit pulls Riana and her
two sister Sibyl into the case of a politician's son,
murdered in a ritualistic sacrifice. Soon, Riana's
instincts prove true. Creed, the hottest half-human she's
ever known, a demon in bed and out, is guarding a trapdoor
to hell. And unless Riana can find a way to tame her
mystery man's treacherous inner self (and her heart), all
of Manhattan may be enveloped by darkness.
