I agree, Trina, that she did spend a lot of time on background info, but I believe it was necessary. I don't think the second book (which will be out in November 2006) will have as much, considering how much Sword of Darkness gave us about the past. She might recap, but not full out.
I adore Sherrilyn, love her writing style. She creates colourful characters that you love to love and love to hate. As any of the best authors that I love, she makes me laugh, cry, and get right down pissed, and...more

Sword of Darkness is the first in a new series by Kinley MacGregor (Sherrilyn Kenyon) called the Lords of Avalon. These stories are about the Knights of the Round Table and what could have happened after the famous battle that left King Arthur mortally wounded. All of this is useful information to know before starting the book, and I would also recommend skipping to the end of the book and reading "The Legend," "The Thirteen Sacred Objects," and "Vocabulary" before ...more

You can always count on Sherrilyn Kenyon (writing this time as Kinley MacGregor) to create a totally yummy hero. And Kerrigan is definitely that! This is the first novel in the “Lords of Avalon” series, and I have to say I enjoyed her other historical series more (“Brotherhood of the Sword”).
This one had time travel in it, and that was the main reason it didn’t work for me…it was just too distracting. Some characters had traveled to our time, and others hadn’t. So you had...more

Kerrigan is the wielder of a dark sword that renders him invincible. He takes Seren, a lowly apprentice, to thwart an anicent prophecy but instead finds her purity too much for him.
Seren and Kerrigan are perfectly matched and a thrill to read about. Kerrigan is never too brutal or evil. Morgen's plans are frustrating.

This book is really good, it made me continue turning pages even though not everyone i know reads it. It's so good, i just can't put it down; i finished in 6 hours. This was like the world of a game a person which was evil saw his enlightenment and switched sides and his heart changed and everything changed.

This is from the Lords of Avalon series. Kerrigan was a black-hearted guy and he was one mean fella! He lived in the dark world and folks did what he said without question. He encounters Seren and his world shifts to lightness. I liked this! Lots of twists kept me turning the pages.

Great start to a new series for "MacGregor." I loved the fact that the quote on the front of the book read "She writes paranormal-romance the way I would. - Sherrilyn Kenyon" ... seeing as Kinley MacGregor IS Sherrilyn Kenyon. Cheeky.
