In FORBIDDEN, Docia Waverly is walking to work one day and
finds herself being knocked off a bridge and plunging into
the river below. She survives, but she's no longer alone, a
Bodywalker has joined her inside her body. At first she
knows something is different and marks that up to the near
death experience, but as she adjusts to the symbiotic
being, she realizes a whole new, scary world has opened up
to her.
Ramses, a member of the Politic of the Bodywalkers, is sent
searching for Docia and he believes the twin soul inside
her is the reincarnated Hatshepsut, wife of their king
Menes. He must protect her from the Templars, enemies of
the Politic led by priestess Odjit/Selena. The Templars
believe they should be the rulers of the Bodywalkers and
the Politic do not want them as rulers or see the
subjugation of all humans. A civil war had been raging on
and off for centuries. He's also having a very big problem
with his duty and it is something that had never happened
to him in all his years. He and his counterpart Vincent are
fighting a startling attraction to Docia.
Jackson Waverly is Docia's brother and a cop and he is not
having a very good time of late. First his canine partner
Chico is killed and he has to accept that and get back on
duty. Then they tell him that his sister and only surviving
relative is dead only to find out she isn't, but after
taking her home she disappears again with only a quick
phone call. He and his friend Leo Alvarez are searching for
her as are the Templars and it is a race to see who will
get to her first.
Only Jacquelyn Frank could take legendary Egyptians,
intermix them with evil Templars, add gargoyles and weave
it all into an incredible new world that exists right in
the middle of unknowing humans. The multiple characters
could be confusing but each very clearly has their place
and is important to the whole plot. The action doesn't stop
until the last page and indeed the ending is explosive and
completely unexpected. FORBIDDEN will leave the reader
waiting impatiently to visit this world again.
From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes
this first book in The World of the Nightwalkers—an exciting
and sensual new spin-off series in which the Bodywalkers, an
ancient race of the night, battles the evil forces who prey
on them.
The unexpected happens in an instant. On her way to work,
secretary Docia Waverley hurtles into a crashing crossroads,
and she quickly begins to suspect that things will never be
the same. Then, when a tall, blond, muscular stranger
intervenes on her behalf, telling her it is his duty to
protect her at all cost, what is just a feeling turns to
proof positive. That is, as long as Docia’s savior doesn’t
turn out to be a crazed kidnapper.
When Ram finds Docia, he has no doubt that she is his queen.
But as this golden warrior sweeps in to protect her, he
feels something more than body heat every time they touch.
He is overwhelmed by a searing connection that goes deep
into the twin souls inside him. A desire rises in him that
is forbidden—this woman is his queen, the mate of his king,
his leader, his best friend. And yet Docia is so vulnerable
and attractive that she awakens a hunger in Ram that is
undeniable, a carnal craving he cannot yield to . . . not
without risking the very survival of the Bodywalkers.
