For the past seven years, Lady Sabrina Douglas has taken refuge with the Sisters of High Danu, a group of priestesses who simultaneously revel in and hide their Otherness, their Fey heritage. However, the deceits of the past begin to circle and descend on Sabrina. First, she saves a man who doesn't remember his own name, but he remembers hers. Then, more people than she is comfortable with keep wanting to know if she's been in contact with her brother Brendan, the brother who left seven years ago after her father's murder and who people alternately argue is dead or concocting nefarious plots against the righteous. Finally, her other brother, Aidan, her father's heir, wants to submerge her into the bosom of his family, supposedly on the urging of his new wife. Sabrina would really rather stay with the priestesses and take her vows, as she knows anyone with whom she'd have to forge a marriage alliance would not let her immerse herself in her strong healing powers like she can with the Sisters. However, with the introduction of the beautiful and dangerous warrior who seems to know her, Sabrina realizes she has to make her own choices to discover who she really is, but can she handle what and who he really is?
Fast-paced, intricate, and well-developed, LORD OF DARKNESS is a rich journey of self-discovery, passion, and intrigue, well worth reading time and again.
Who is working the demon arts . . .
Was it her murdered father? Her fugitive brother? It has
been seven years since Lady Sabrina Douglas cloistered
herself with the Sisters of High Danu, but the questions
remain. She is Otherβa mixture of Fey and mortalβquietly
using her powers to heal. That is, until she saves a
half-drowned man, his soldierβs body a roadmap of scars, his
fathomless eyes filled with heartbreaking loneliness. The
inexplicable connection overwhelms her defenses, touching
her heart, mind . . . and body.
. . . and to what end?
A man with no memory, Daigh MacLir seeks his past even as
unknown threats fill him with monstrous rage and inhuman
abilities. But as a desperate game of hunter and hunted is
played out from ballrooms to bedrooms, what Daigh discovers
is more chilling than anyone could possibly imagine. Defying
death was only the first step in the task he has been given,
and Sabrina is his last hope. But dare he risk involving
her? Daigh has been summoned to find an ancient king, and
even the powers of love may not be enough to win the battle
against the powers of darkness.
