Nightborn by Lynn Viehl
Paranormal Romance -March 6th, 2012
4 stars
In Nightborn, Lynn Viehl returns to her widely popular Darkyn series about powerful and long-lived vampires who life secretly in the modern day world.
Korvel is the high lord’s seneschal, his most trusted advisor and first in command. As part of the Kyndred his loyalty is unquestioned. When his lord puts him on mission to find a legendary and powerful scroll Korvel does not expect to have trouble. But he finds it in a beautiful and noble nun named Simone who knows more than she appears. Is she an innocent or his enemy?
Simone is human but one entrusted with the secrets of the Darkyn. For she is the protector of a magical scroll. One that is foretold to give its owner the capability of immortality. Her entire family has been entrusted with its safe keeping. But when they are compromised Simone soon discovers herself in danger. But her duty is clear -retrieve the scroll and prevent it from being misused. When she is saved by an unknown Darkyn named Korvel she finds herself enamored by his heroics and beauty. Her heart longs for Korvel. But she knows that her responsibility to protect the scroll and its secrets hold precedence. Can she make a choice between love and duty?
This was an action packed paranormal romance with mythical stakes. Both characters are strong and fiercely independent. They have been forged through sacrifice and severe suffering. So much that you want them to find some happiness. Both of their lives have only been duty to their lord or family. Neither has had the freedom to live each of their lives. The villain in this story is utterly ruthless and devious. He is jealous of Simone and wants her to suffer. The mystery behind the scroll is fascinating as the reader wonders if it will grant immortally if found and where it comes from. There is also the side story of Gabriel and Nicola who have been sent to find the scroll when Korvel is deemed missing which adds tension to the plot.
Thrilling and exhilarating, those who love paranormals and mythological mysterious will find this book an exciting read.
