false 6314019 3 <B>A new romantic fantasy of magic, manners, and espionage that is also a “fast-paced thriller” (Carol Berg).</B><BR><BR> For the Darkborn, sunlight kills. For the Lightborn, darkness is fatal. Living under a centuries-old curse, the Darkborn and the Lightborn share the city of Minhorne, coexisting in an uneasy equilibrium but never interacting. When Darkborn physician Balthasar Hearne finds a pregnant fugitive on his doorstep just before sunrise, he has no choice but to take her in. Tercelle Amberley’s betrothed is a powerful Darkborn nobleman, but her illicit lover came to her through the daytime.

Soon he finds himself drawn deeper into political intrigue and magical attacks, while Telmaine must confront a power she can no longer keep sheathed in gloves, a power she neither wants nor can control. 6499238 5 5 2009 Darkborn (Darkborn Trilogy, Book 1) total:54|5:8|4:22|3:16|2:7|1:1| 54 191 210 25 4 3 false false Sat May 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 10:22:43 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 16:48:41 -0700 2009 Darkborn was elegantly written.
