With Armageddon adverted you would think Santiago would be
more than happy to get back to his vampiric life as manager
of Viper's Club, but the exuberant atmosphere is not doing
a thing to uplift his spirits. He was furious when Nefri,
the clan leader who lives beyond the veil, disappeared soon
after the Dark Lord was destroyed. He's in a fighting mood
so it is only a matter of time before he finds himself
fighting the threat of a DARKNESS AVENGED.
He goes searching for his old master when the witch who had
been helping him comes to the Anasso, Styx, saying that
Gaius is still alive and up to no good. In the meantime
Nefri is called on by the Oracles and she is sent looking
for Gaius on their behalf. It isn't long before they are
working together, with the irritating presence of Levet,
the miniature gargoyle, and finding themselves against
something much worse than even the Dark Lord had been.
Also involved against his will is Roke, who is staying in
the Annaso's mansion because a clairvoyant saw him in a
vision. No one is sure what was to happen, but the boss
says stay close so he has no choice. While unhappily
playing prison guard he finds himself attracted to and
ticked off by the witch, Sally.
DARKNESS AVENGED is action packed, filled with brooding
vampires, enough heart racing sex to leave you breathless
and of course Levet who adds the right touch of comedy,
though I don't think he realizes it. The non-stop action
with its varied storyline will keep the reader enthralled
all the way to the last page. This is a fantastic
continuation of the Guardians of Eternity by author
Alexandra Ivy. Each book from this series is fresh and
filled with unforgettable characters, a lot of emotional
upheavals and did I mention gorgeous vampires and a few
hunky werewolves. A must read!
Added to this book is a bonus novella entitled "Levet"
which gives the reader more background information on our
favorite gargoyle, who is now trying to get back into the
Gargoyle Guild, that is, if he survives his less than
loving family. Oh yes ... it is also a very intriguing love
story between a vampire Elijah and a nymph named Valla, who
both come to Levet's rescue a time of two.
As the demon world celebrates the defeat of the Dark Lord, the vampire Santiago's mood remains bleak. He still yearns for sensual, raven-haired Nefri, who has inexplicably disappeared. But brooding for Nefri is a luxury Santiago does not have. His traitorous sire, Gaius, is unleashing a violent scourge upon the mortal world, and Santiago must stop him before it's too late. . .
Leads To A Dangerous Seduction
To her dismay, the all powerful Oracles have sent Nefri on her own mission to find Gaius, and failure is not an option. Nefri's search leads her to the vampire's abandoned lair--and straight into Santiago's path. It's clear Santiago intends to seduce her, but then an ancient, banished evil reappears, threatening to thrust the world into a madness it cannot survive. . .
