Having spent her entire life in her Regent father's shadow,
Sasha Willis is determined to clean up the mess in Seattle
left by Kincade, a former Regent, and break gender barriers
by proving that she's worthy of becoming the first female
Regent. Sasha knew the Paladins had Kaliths, enemies from
the other side of the barrier, living among them, but she
never thought they'd been giving free reign of the place.
When her life is saved by a Kalith, her perception of the
enemy begins to change, as do her feelings.
Larem Jones knows that as a Kalith, he's not accepted by all
Paladins, just those he calls friends. Feelings of not
belonging torment Larem, as does his helplessness in helping
his people. He knows the last thing he should be doing is
getting close to Sasha, who could end his existence in an
instant, but he can't resist her. As their relationship
deepens, it fuels the already deep hatred amongst those who
hate the Kalith. Loyalties will be tested and the ultimate
test will decide which is greater; love or hate.
BOUND BY DARKNESS, the seventh book in Alexis Morgan's
hugely popular and addictive Paladin series, takes on
prejudice and what happens when two people from two
different worlds manage to come together and find the
ultimate love. I thought the lead pair in this story was
perfectly matched. The fireworks between the two are
explosive. I also loved that we got to catch up with
characters from previous books and get a glimpse into how
life is treating them and their happily ever afters. Anyone
who is a fan of this series or is looking for an exciting
new series to start will thoroughly enjoy BOUND BY DARKNESS.
Caught between two worlds, a powerful warrior must choose
between impossible destinies when he meets a woman whose
love will either make or break him. . . .
As the daughter of a Regent, Sasha has long known about the
secret underworld of the Paladins and their work protecting
her kind from the dark forces on the other side of the
energy barrier. So when she is sent on her first solo
investigation, on the path to becoming the first female
Regent, she is determined to get the Seattle Paladins in
line. Offering sanctuary to their Kalith enemies is simply
unacceptable! But when she meets Larem, she is inexorably
drawn to a dark and valiant warrior who is not at all what
he appears to be. As the power struggle between Regents and
Paladins rages on, someone starts making attacks on her
life. Sasha must choose between loyalty to her own kind and
the warrior she loves . . . with the very fate of humanity
hanging in the balance.
