At the end of Echoes of Angels, readers were ushered into a new world then left to eagerly await the climactic next installment. Your patience is now rewarded in this sequel that picks up right where the last one ended. Morgan has now returned to his homeworld after centuries to face destiny.

While he was gone, his enemies, the evil Xavier and Morgan's own twin sister, Megwyn, grew in power and now Morgan is all that stands between them and ruling the three worlds with iron fists. Stopping them is all Morgan feels he has left; he is sure that his mate, Julie, is dead. However, she is not.

Although deeply wounded, further scarred, and now hosting a mutant inside herself, Julie lives, albeit barely. When the two reunite, Morgan must do what he never intended to do, return to Earth, in hopes of saving her. If the price she paid to live last time was bitter, this one is doubly so.

Life as she knows it will end for eternity when Morgan transforms her into a unique being, one capable of standing beside him for centuries if they survive the coming conflict against two who care for nothing save themselves. The battle ahead of them will strain hearts, souls, minds and bodies, but it will be worth it.

The intensity of the second book is triple that of the first as two worlds are spanned. Light moments provided by an elf give a few breathers in this fantastic and gritty tale of good, evil, and all the shades of grey in between.





 
 

Synopsis
The Scrolls of Cachaen...

Remembered only as legend, these writings gathered by an obscure sect of wizards were hidden because of the diabolical forces they could unleash from the netherworld. Lost for seven millennia, the resting place of the scrolls is accidentally discovered by Xavier D'Shagre. Wounded and dying, the sorcerer seeks to possess the writings to restore his waning magic. Revenge fires his hatred, lit by Morgan Saint-Evanston, the darkside assassin who murdered Xavier's beloved wife Nisidia.

Xavier vows he will not rest until his enemy is dead.

The sorcerer's search for the scrolls is discovered by an unlikely source: Julienne Blackthorne. Believed dead, her body was tossed into a charnel room. Alive amongst the reek of the battle dead, she seeks to escape her hellish incarceration. Time is against her, for she carries the embryo of a vampiric succubus that will consume her if it is not fed human blood. Julienne must escape Xavier's dungeons and find Morgan, her last hope for survival in the dimensional realm of Sclyd.
