"Exciting and enthralling paranormal romantic thriller"
Shapeshifter Calen turns into a jaguar as she uses her
powers to protect the esmeraldos from the mercenaries
employed by the Guild owners of the Santa Maria Emerald
Mine, who have orders to shoot to kill anyone on mine
property. Calen, who masquerades as El Espanto, (the Ghost)
protects the esmeraldos by instilling fear in the
mercenaries which leads them to quit their jobs. The guild
hires former convict and superb sniper Reno to infiltrate
the esmeraldos so he can learn who El Esparto is and kill
him. Reno, also a shapeshifter, flies down to Ecuador and poses
as a medical technician but Calen knows he was hired to
kill her. They soon learn that they both have Warriors for
the Light birthmarks and a vision leads them to find one of
the emeralds in the Emerald Key necklace. Legend has it she
will find, with some outside help, the other ones scattered
throughout the world and when she wears it she will usher
in 1000 years of peace. The other part of the legend goes
on to say that a woman who is part of the dark side is also
looking for the emeralds and if she finds them, the world
will be destroyed. When Reno learns Calen's secret identity
he becomes her protector and makes an enemy out of the
Guild and mercs who want to kill him. Only a miracle will
leave them free to love one another. Lindsay McKenna has written an exciting and enthralling
paranormal romantic thriller that sets the stage for a
gathering place for the warriors for the light and the
people who will be drawn to the upcoming quest. Both the
hero and heroine have lost those they loved to violence but
they are able to find strength through one another.
