Kamen is a Bodywalker, an ancient soul reborn in one human host after another. He is trapped now, a prisoner of his own making. For it was he who released the deadly god who threatens the existence of the world as the NIGHTWALKER people know it.

To atone for the error he accepts an urgent message, for it is written that all nations of NIGHTWALKER must band together to destroy the god. If he fails to convince these different peoples to set aside centuries-old conflicts and band together, all is lost. The first he must deal with is the Wraiths, special beings who are feared for their lethal deathtouch. It was impossible for foresee that Genevieve, part-wraith/part-human and scorned for being a half breed, would come into his life and become a part of not only his mission but the very heart that beats in his chest.

Vieve has spent her life trying her best to keep out of the way of her mother's people because they treated her poorly. She hungers for a connection and when she meets Kamen and is ordered by the Wraith leader to join him, she feels very connected and for the first time, alive. Perhaps if they survive this near impossible mission of uniting the NIGHTWALKER nation, they might find time to see where these feelings take them.

NIGHTWAKER is a fantastic, mind blowing read. In this book, author Jacquelyn Frank brings back many of her past characters uniting vampires, nightwalkers and shadowdwellers as well as a few other beings in this war against evil. I thought of it as a book of redemption and finding acceptance. Kamen made a horrible mistake and was doing all in his power to make up for it. I think he succeeds rather well. Vieve is adorable and while I felt sorry for her, I did enjoy watching her learn her strengths and begin to believe in herself. Ms. Frank uses this book to acquaint us more closely with various other beings in this magical world, some I would like to see again and others I certainly would not want to meet in a dark alley. I can only say if you are looking for an action-packed storyline with intriguing twists and turns meeting up with a few past favorites and of course some amazingly steamy moments, then NIGHTWALKER is just what you are looking for.
