Cain is a warrior, a Sentinel, who has had reason to slip into depression but coming to the rescue of Rory Rainey may be just the medicine he needs. His dilemma is does he have the strength to take a chance again on finding his mate?
Rory has spent her life seeing visions, visions that are driving her near insane with the constant barrage. She is seeking the person who can help her. Someone to stop the visions. After she meets Cain she finds that his touch stills the visions, but both are physically hurt when they stop touching. She also finds that one of the demon things bit her, but didn't poison her instead it took her blood.
The Synestryn, demons, can use that blood to try to control her. Make her do things against the Sentinels. Rory has no choice, though a part of her doesn't mind, but to trust Cain to help her search for those demons who would use her.
FALLING BLIND is a fast paced adventure with two strong, very independent central characters involved in a life or death fight against evil complicated by growing love. Author, Shannon K. Butcher has a flair with writing that has the reader's attention caught and held from the first word to the last. All in all I loved the action, the return of past characters, and watching the growing love between Rory and Cain. If I have one complaint it would be that at times Rory was irritating, showing a childish, whining side that leads the reader to wonder if she deserved a man like Cain. This is the 9th installment of Ms. Butcher's The Sentinel Wars, and though it is not necessary to read the others to absolutely enjoy this one ... you will just want to read them all. I certainly plan to.
Book Summary
They are the Sentinels. Three races descended from ancient guardians of mankind, each possessing unique abilities in their battle to protect humanity against their eternal foes: the Synestryn. Now a warrior must protect a strong–minded woman from an incredible evil...
A beautiful, independent Theronai, Rory Rainey knows that her attempts to be a warrior are futile—unless she can stop the demonic visions that torment her. Determined to be free, Rory sets out to find the mysterious guardian who can cure her, before she loses her sight—or her life. But Rory's journey brings its own dangers when she is attacked by a pack of Synestryn sent by the demon lord Raygh.
Cornered and desperate, Rory narrowly escapes with the help of a sword–wielding stranger. Cain knows that Rory needs his protection to survive, just as he knows that her power is compatible with his own. And when Rory binds herself to Cain, the warrior knows he will do anything to keep her safe from the threat of the demon lord that pursues her...
