Patience Lazarus has known all her life that she is a Nightkeeper, a wielder of magic destined to keep the world safe from ending on December 21, 2012. Patience was under the impression that she was the only living Nightkeeper until she awoke in the arms of Brandt White-Eagle, also a Nightkeeper, while on holiday in Mexico. Brandt and Patience can't remember how they met, but they marry secretly and attempt to have a normal life with their twins. Patience realizes there are more Nightkeepers when she and her family are summoned to the Nightkeeper compound, Skywatch, to join the others in their quest. Entering Skywatch changes everything for Patience; her children go into hiding and her husband becomes distant, putting a strain on their marriage and the bond that connects them.

As a Nightkeeper, Brandt White-Eagle has always understood duty before all else, but that philosophy is destroying his marriage to Patience Lazarus. That morning, six years ago, when he woke up in bed next to his future wife, a Nightkeeper, he thought they were meant for each other. Unfortunately, Brandt and Patience are unable to remember the night they met, which is one of the mysteries they must solve to move the Nightkeepers forward in the war threatening to end it all. In order to gain the power needed to assist the Nightkeepers, Brandt must find a way to not only remember his past with Patience but come to terms with one fateful night when a vow was made, then broken, putting those Brandt loves in the hands of the Gods.

BLOOD SPELLS is the 5th book in the Nightkeeper series; books that I have come to absolutely love. The ever- evolving fresh storyline and the deeply emotional characters are beyond intriguing and exciting. I am so ready for the next one!

Book Summary

Trained from birth to fight with fists and magic, Patience knows that she should focus on the coming war for souls. But she isn’t just a warrior—she’s a wife and mother too, which leaves her loyalties divided between the Nightkeepers and her family.

Brandt broke the rules when he married Patience and fathered their twin sons—and now he’s paying the price. Torn between his magic and his marriage, and separated from his ancestors’ wisdom by a curse he can’t remove, Brandt is fighting to put his life back together.

When an ancient Aztec god-king arises, Patience and Brandt must set aside their problems and team up as a mated warrior pair. But as they race to prevent the Nightkeepers’ enemies from enacting a terrible ritual that could tear apart humanity, the threat turns even more personal, becoming a deadly test of their powers … and their love.
