Simone Derien's time has come. Her life assisting the nuns in a remote part of Provence has ended abruptly as a long awaited signal allowing her to fulfill her promise to a man long dead is triggered. Her duty soon wars with the passion inspired by the Darkyn Korbel, both seeking a long-hidden scroll but perhaps for separate purposes.

Korbel is tired of his life echoing with loneliness. His sworn duty to the high lord has long since become a prison. He fulfills that trust solely because there is no one else who will keep the interests of the high lord in mind while seeking a powerful relic from the past of the Darkyn. His duty comes into conflict with his achingly renewed desire when a woman who seems formed of purity and innocence joins forces with him on their quest to retrieve the Templar scroll.

Delicious twists wrap around and through NIGHTBORN, always adding a layer of suspense to the reading experience. Achingly tender moments, action packed scenes and plenty of surprises abound in this first in a new Darkyn-based trilogy.

Lynn Viehl can be counted upon for amazingly powerful and intricate storytelling. She has published forty seven novels in eight genres (I first met her in her science fiction guise, the Star Doc series written as S. L. Viehl) and I look forward to filling out my collection with the books I've missed. I couldn't find a projected publication date for book two in this series, but I will be keeping my eyes open waiting.

Book Summary

The High Lord of the Immortal Darkyn has sent his most trusted warrior, Korvel, to retrieve a coveted scroll that's rumored to contain maps to Templar treasures and the secrets to eternal life. Uniting with Korvel to recover the dangerous artifact is Simone Derien, the daughter of the scroll's guardian, and a woman with many deadly secrets...
