In 1815 Wales, the evil being Maelodor believes the Kilronan's Diary has been destroyed. The nine formed the inner circle with only Maelodor left alive and forced to a life of hiding and running, unless he can obtain the Kilronan's Diary. Lazarus, the dead brought back to life, is charged with retrieving the book from the Earl of Kilronan in Dublin, Ireland.

Aiden, the Earl of Kilronan, believes the diary to be the key to answering all his questions when Catriona O'Connell attempts to steal the document. Cat has been cast aside by her prominent family as an embarrassment. Stealing is her survival. Cat possesses magic, as does Aiden, both being fey. Cat reads the ancient language of fey and is held to read the diary. Before Cat or Aiden realize it, they have fallen into a web of love. Complete with fey and human blood, mage energy filled with fire and chants, the real and unreal bodies clash in a storm of swords and blood. Surviving the war between the Duiredon and Other, Cat and Aiden fight for their lives.

EARL OF DARKNESS is the first book in a new paranormal series about a mysterious Irish family fighting to stop the resurrection of King Arthur. This read is fast-paced and littered with special powers between the normal and the evil brought back from the dead, who with their unlimited paranormal powers are indestructible. Every page is a new mystery complete with unexpected powers. I found some difficulty in understanding the paranormal aspects of the various characters until I read deeper into the story.

Book Summary

The magic she tries to hide…

Born a lady, but reduced to surviving in the slums of Dublin, Catriona O’Connell has been hired to steal a mysterious book from Aidan Douglas, Earl of Kilronan. But Cat is secretly Other, an age-old mixture of Fey and human—something Aidan recognizes immediately when he surprises the lovely young burglar in his library, about to steal a magical diary.

…is the magic he desperately wants.

From the moment Aidan sees her, Cat’s spirited beauty enchants him, but her uncanny abilities are what he truly needs, for Cat can understand the mystical language in the diary he inherited from his murdered father. So Aidan makes an offer: translate the book or be thrown in prison as a thief. And as Cat slowly deciphers each page, she and Aidan are drawn together by passion . . .and into the violence of the Other world that is the Kilronan legacy. Can they defeat those who seek the book, or are their lives in even greater danger than their hearts?
