Korvel's assignment is to retrieve an ancient Templar
scroll, but the woman he reluctantly took as his traveling
companion after he rescued her and she helped him, Simone,
has a darker mission: to take the scroll and kill Korvel.
She is a high ranking member of a family sworn to help the
Darkyn, trained for this very purpose by an ancient and
deadly master, but she also has allegiances to humans that
the knowledge contained within the scroll might harm. As she
falls more under Korvel's seductive spell, her dual
allegiances battle each other aggressively. Meanwhile, a
killer traveling under an assumed name wishes her dead
because of long ago shame, and two of Korvel's companions,
though ordered to locate the scroll, are more concerned
about locating Korvel and securing his safety. In a
dangerous world where friends and foes combine, knowing whom
to trust is difficult, and knowing whom to love is more so.
Fast-paced, action-packed, and interesting, Lynn Viehl makes
quick and detailed work with her world-building. Her
characters all have difficult pasts with which they must
battle daily. In addition, Simone is a fascinating
combination of innocence and preparedness. NIGHTBORN is a
fantastic book.
The High Lord of the Immortal Darkyn has sent his most
trusted warrior, Korvel, to retrieve a coveted scroll that's
rumored to contain maps to Templar treasures and the secrets
to eternal life. Uniting with Korvel to recover the
dangerous artifact is Simone Derien, the daughter of the
scroll's guardian, and a woman with many deadly secrets...
