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.

SUMMARY

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.
