Aidan the fierce was determined to win enough battles as a Berserker to attain ohalla, immortality, and vowed to make Valkyrie Reginleit the Radiant his own only after that goal was reached. Murdered before he could wed her, he was doomed to be reborn, meet her then die throughout the long centuries.

Regin, like most Valkyries, is a party girl. She left Valhalla centuries ago to save her sister and did not expect to ruin a man's life, or his lives to come. She parties hard, but she also leaps in to fight vampires, crazed South American deities, and any other being from the dark side who threatens humanity. It was hard to stay positive though when she is the doom of a good man whenever the gods decide to bring him back to the mortal plane. During this incarnation, she is determined to avoid causing his death by never meeting him at all, hoping he lives a long and healthy life without her.

This time was different, however. Aidan has been reborn into Declan, a nemesis of the supernatural. Warden of a prison where members on both sides of the war of the Accession are tortured for their secrets and experimented upon to reveal their powers, Declan has been raised to hate any living creature not of human origin. And he is hunting a Valkyrie for the prison's collection.

Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series is a heady mixture of violence and humor. The stakes are the highest and the rewards as great. The immortals are larger than life and so are their fates, and Cole does a magnificent job putting them through hell before letting them find their "happily ever after." DREAMS OF A DARK WARRIOR is book nine in the series, and if anything, the series is picking up steam as the battles of the Accession move toward the final conflicts.
