Gideon was once the greatest archangel of the Arcan gods,
but when he fell in love with a mortal woman, his lust for
her cursed him. He is now known as the Lord of the Dark,
and his punishment has left him in a state of constant
arousal. The slightest touch causes him pain, and his ever-
present wings are extremely sensitive. Whenever, he tries
to slake his need, there are watchers who throw lightning
bolts at him. One of his conquests is overly distraught by
the pain from the bolts, and as a siren she brews up a
storm that causes shipwrecks. An unfortunate survivor
makes their way to his only place of solitude, and her
innocence and her sensuality tempt him as no other has
before her. Will Gideon succumb to his desires and take
her? Or will the threat the watchers pose to her stop him
from his madness?
Rhiannon is aboard one of the ships caught in the siren's
spell. She knows that the ship is going to crash, and the
only option left for her is prayer. She prays to the Arcan
gods for either a swift death or for safe passage to the
Dark Isle. When she washes up on shore, she figures that
she has been shown the favor of the gods. The cave where
she seeks refuge is obviously someone's home, and when she
meets the owner, she is struck by a need that she has never
known before. This man, this fallen angel, has awakened
her desires, and she longs for him to fulfill the emptiness
inside her. Can she convince Gideon that they were made
for each other? Will they be able to outwit the watchers
that haunt Gideon's every move?
Dawn Thompson has crafted an overtly imaginative erotic
fantasy. Mythical creatures run aplenty on the Dark Isle,
and each seems to have their own trials to deal with.
Gideon is a tortured soul, and his story is very dark. We
know that he will have a very treacherous path to tread to
reach some type of redemption. Rhiannon is a very trusting
soul, and she is ready to give everything to the man that
has so easily captured her desires. She is also so very
mortal, and quite capable of stirring up trouble. LORD OF
THE DARK is a very stimulating romance, and I do hope that
the late Ms. Thompson completed the other tales in this
series.
Come To Me , Gideon,
the greatest among the archangels of the Arcan gods, fell
from grace
eons ago when he lusted after a mortal woman, knowing well
that it was
wrong—and that he would live forever with his sin. In his
flight from
Paradise to the Dark Isle, the vengeful gods exacted an unusual
punishment: the slightest touch upon his wings, even from
the wind that
carries him aloft, arouses him. When a beautiful maiden,
survivor of a
shipwreck, comes to his lonely kingdom, it is all he can do
to restrain
himself—Rhiannon, a vision of sensual perfection, awakens
true passion
in his soul. Enfolding her in his huge, silver-white wings
is the only
way he can protect her. Heedless of the risk, Gideon is
compelled to
make her fully his—and the lovers succumb to an erotic
enchantment like
no other...
