INTO DARKNESS is the much-awaited finale to the Night
Prowler series, an UF/PNR saga about the Ikati,
shifters
who have been forced to live in secret to protect
themselves from humanity. Book six starts fourteen years
after the
events of Darkness Bound, when The Flash occurred in Lima,
Peru at one of the last Ikati compounds, killing thousands
of humans and leading to the loss of so many Ikati. The
Flash triggered wars and great turmoil, famines, scorched
sky and barren earth.
Lumina Bohn is an Abberant, a being with supernatural
powers, who has grown up trying to hide in plain sight
from
the oppressive Imperial Federation that now rules
humanity. She has dreamed for years about Magnus,
another
Aberrant who she has never met in real life- steamy and
arousingly lovely dreams, although she is confused by
Magnus calling her Hope, instead of Lumina.
The IF's Grand Minister uncovers Lumina as an Aberrant,
for
which the penalty is lethal harvesting for use in The
Imperial Federation's evil plans. Her exposure triggers
her deadly and astonishing powers, but Dissenters help her
escape New Vienna. She's astonished to be met on the
other
side of the city wall by Magnus, her dream lover, who must
now help Lumina escape an international manhunt.
Magnus has made a life for himself locating a rescuing the
outcast Ikati called Abarrents from capture and torture.
Magnus and Lumina have a smoldering chemistry that Magnus
is heroically trying to resist due to a secret past. A
shocking revelation threatens the remaining Ikati,
however,
and Magnus and Lumina must work side by side in a
desperately risky race save their species from extinction.
INTO DARKNESS contains an intricate plot with its many
elaborate mysteries revealed as the book progresses. The
wrap-up to this series is deeply satisfying, with its many
poignant revelations. I will admit that I am such a huge
fan of the series that I did not want it to end. When the
plot began to crescendo to the final dénouement, I put the
book aside for a little while, because I knew that reading
the final page would mean the end of the grand saga. I
could only put it off for about 15 minutes, though, before
I was compelled to dive back into this rich and explosive
finale.
In New Vienna, capital of the oppressive global
government
formed after the Flash, three things are certain: the sun
is
poisonous, speaking out is dangerous, and being different
will get you killed.
And Lumina Bohn is extraordinarily different.
Living in terror of discovery, Lu knows nothing of her
past—but she knows she must pretend to be human to
survive.
When an incident at work triggers her astonishing powers,
she becomes the target of an international manhunt. Only
one
person can save her: Magnus, the enigmatic stranger
haunting
her dreams.
Magnus rescues the outcasts called Aberrants from capture
and torture. As Lu begins exploring her powers among her
people, her feelings for Magnus intensify. He’s
determined
to stay emotionally distant, yet their smoldering passion
soon becomes impossible to resist.
But when a shocking revelation threatens the lives of
every
remaining Aberrant, Lu and Magnus must risk everything,
confronting their enemies in an explosive final stand to
save their kind from the darkest fate of all: extinction.
