"fabulous thriller"
At night the innocent coed left the library when the Daimons
attacked her, but just when she appeared to be their feast,
a Dark-Hunter appeared. However, instead of saving the human
as their code demands, he feasts on her blood leaving her
soul to the Daimons. The Alexion, hunter of rogue Dark Hunters, knows he must
deal with his friend Marco's breaking the code of not
harming humans. Though he knows he needs to put Marco to
death, the Alexion hopes to save the "soul" of his pal.
However, he finds himself distracted by that rarest of Dark
Hunters, a huntress Dangereuse "Danger" St. Richard, who
tried to kill him as she knows he is the executioner of her
kind. In spite of their auspicious first encounter, The
Alexion and Danger fall in love, but duty calls, which means
killing more than just his friend; he must kill the Dark
Huntress he loves as she is controlled by one of the nastier
Goddesses. This is a super entry in one of the best romantic fantasy
series on the market today. The story line is action- packed
but Alexion's dilemma of choosing between his beloved and
his duty make for quite a tale as fans will wonder which way
he will go. Either way he knows his "resurrected" heart
beating with love will turn to ashes. Sherrilyn Kenyon
provides a fabulous thriller with a strong cast supporting
two star-crossed lovers whose relationship seems tragically
doomed from the start. Harriet Klausner

A Dark-Hunter Novel
**2005 PEARL WINNER - BEST SHAPESHIFTER**
**2005 PEARL WINNER - BEST OVERALL PARANORMAL ROMANCE** In the realm of the Dark-Hunters there is a code of honor
that even immortal bad boys must follow: Harm no human. Drink no blood. Never fall in love. But every now and again a Dark-Hunter thinks himself above
the Code. That's when I'm summoned. Who am I? I'm the one
thing the fearless fear. Step over the line and it's my
wrath you will face. Nothing can touch me. Nothing can sway
me. I am relentless and unfeeling. Or so I thought until I met a female Dark-Hunter who goes
by
the name of Danger-it's not just her name, it's how she
lives her life. She doesn't trust me at all. And who could
blame her? She alone knows that I'm here to be judge, jury
and most likely executioner of her friends. Yet she is my
key to saving some of them. Without her, they all will die. Dangereuse St. Richard is a deadly distraction. Something
about her is reawakening a heart I thought was long dead.
But in a race against evil, the only hope mankind has is
that I do my duty. And how can I do my duty when it means
that I will have to sacrifice the only woman I've ever
loved? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
