Welcome to the dark city of Camelot. Arthur and his knights
have fallen and the city is under the rule of a new king.
Shadow fey stalk hallways where only shadows linger and
color is forbidden. Kerrigan, the champion of all things
evil, has claimed the throne and rules side-by-side with
Arthur's evil sister, Morgen. Learning that a new Merlin is
about to be conceived, Morgen discovers the identity of the
mother-to-be and sends Kerrigan to kidnap the young woman.
With a new Merlin in their power, nothing stands in the way
of Kerrigan's ultimate goal, which is nothing less than
world domination.
Kerrigan finds and easily captures Seren, a young
apprentice weaver, and returns with her to Camelot. Alone
and afraid, Seren holds fast to the only things in the
world left to her, hope and dignity. After she is
humiliated by Morgen in front of the entire court, Kerrigan
takes Seren, whom he's already attracted to, under his
protection. His desire inflames hers and soon she finds
herself with child. That Seren will bear a child has been
predicted. What hasn't been foretold is that Kerrigan will
be the sire. It's been widely assumed that the child's
father would be one of the fabled Lords of Avalon. With
Morgen moving heaven and earth to bring Seren back into her
power and Kerrigan informing her that he will use the child
as he pleases to fulfill his desires, Seren stands firm in
the face of evil to protect the child she loves and bring
the man she loves out of the dark and back to the light
where he belongs.
Ms. MacGregor aims to please and she generally does. This
new Lords of Avalon series will join her Dark-Hunter novels
as essential reads for romance readers and fantasy readers,
as well. She's created a dark and dazzling world where
knights and wizards are in an ultimate struggle with the
minions of death. Sensual and bewitching, Camelot should be
your first-choice travel destination this spring and SWORD
OF DARKNESS the book to take you there.
The new king of Camelot wears no shining armor: Arthur and
his knights have fallen and a new king rules.
In the darkest forest...
A scared, forsaken youth has become the most powerful --
and feared -- man in the world. Ruthless and unrestrained,
Kerrigan has long ceased to be human.
In the heart of London...
A spirited peasant mired in drudgery, Seren dreams of
becoming her own woman, but never expects that by fleeing
her fate, she will meet her destiny.
Their worlds are forever changed...
Kerrigan's goal is simple: barter or kill Seren to claim
Arthur's Round Table. Yet she is the one person who holds
no fear of him. More than that, her nobility sparks
something foreign inside him. In his nether realm,
kindness is weakness and a king who harbors any sort of
compassion loses his throne.
For countless centuries, Kerrigan has lived alone in the
shadows. Now Seren's courage has forced him into the light
that will bring either salvation to both of them...or
death.
