A Novel of the Darkyn …. Night Lost by Lynn Viehl
Back cover …..
Abandoned by his fellow Darkyn, Gabriel Seran is in continual torment as a prisoner of the religious zealots known as the Brethren. His only hope for rescue lies in Nicola Jefferson, a thief seeking a holy relic-and connected to Gabriel in more ways than she can possibly imagine…
My review ….
This is book 4 in a 7 book series. And I donโt think it will spoil it too much.
Basically Gabriel has been caught by the resident bad guys in the series (The Brethren) heโs been tortured for the whereabouts of his kin, but he wonโt give them up (even though he thinks theyโve forsaken him)
Blinded and walled up for eternity, Gabriel seeks comfort in his dreams. That is where he meets his angel, his only joy (but Gabriel canโt feel real joy or pain anymore)
They meet in the dream, but he canโt tell her where he is so he can be rescued. He only holds onto life for her (he hopes they can meet before he finally dies)
The Darkyn are vampires, they no longer drain their prey, but take enough to survive. They all have unusual talents (different from the usual sparkly vamps) ๐
Nicola is a relic hunter, sheโs after a particular piece and vengeance for the death of her family.
She is numb to the real world, her only escape is in her dreams. She meets a green man (yes literally green) she isnโt frightened of him, but she is wary.
Together they find each other, and hunt for the relic, and are on the run from the brethren. She hopes to finds justice, he hopes to find out why he was never rescued by his kind.
There are a few surprises. And I liked the fact Nicola had no intention of falling for Gabriel (she was just going to rescue him and go) and right up to the end you donโt know if she stays.
Iโm definitely going to read the rest of the series. And the spin off ?!?! Who knows ๐
