Dylan's Spotlight: Sword of Darkness

Series: Lords of Avalon
Author: Kinley MacGregorHero: KerriganRelease Date: March 28, 2006

I haven't been this excited to read a book, since the last Dark Hunter book and excited am I at the prospect that in a little over a month, I'll be able to finally read the long awaited book, Sword of Darkness by Kinley MacGregor. It's funny because I haven't been able to pick up a historical book without cringing, I'm just not that into historicals right now. I'm all about chick lit and contemps at the moment and I can't shake this historical slump I've fallen into.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be one happy camper as soon as this book comes out. I love reading books from the King Arthur era, Medieval romances are really what makes me melt. I don't care about personal groomings and stuff like that, the Medieval times were a romantic time. My favorite movies are mostly from that time period. And the magic, the passion and the romance is really what sets my heart on fire.

You can read an excerpt here.

The new king of Camelot wears no shining armor: Arthur and his knights have fallen and a new king rules.

In the darkest forest...A scared, forsaken child has become the most powerful --and feared-- man in the world. Ruthless and unrestrained, Kerrigan has long ceased to be human and has become something else entirely.

In the heart of London...An unassuming peasant, Seren dreams of becoming her own woman. All she wants is to leave behind her drudgery and penury. But she never expects that running from her fate will put her in the path of her destiny.

Their worlds are forever changed...Kerrigan’s goal is simple: Barter or kill Seren to claim Arthur's sacred Round Table. But simple it's not, for she is the one person who holds no fear of him, a woman whose honesty sparks something foreign inside him. But in his nether realm, kindness is weakness and a king who harbors any sort of compassion loses his throne.

For countless centuries, Kerrigan has lived alone in the shadows until the day when one woman’s courage forces him into the light that could either be both their salvations, or both their deaths.

Now who wouldn't want to read or see this movie? Between the excerpt and the little tid bits that I've been able to read about what this series is all about, I can tell you that with each passing day, I grow a little more anxious to get my hands on a copy. The thing that totally gets me about this book, is that we know that the Lords of Avalon are the good guys, they're the ones fighting the good fight against....Kerrigan and his evil dark army.

And Kerrigan just happens to be the hero of this book. It is going to be so awesome to read about the bad guy's side of things. To read what made this sexy stud turn evil and then it'll be an added bonus to see him see the light again.

I've read Kinley MacGregors series, The MacAllisters/Brotherhood of the Sword series and I just absolutely love it, so I know that she won't disappoint me with this series, she's got a magical way with words and I can't wait to read how her story set in one of my favorite historical time periods unfold in Sword of Darkness...

Oh gosh, I just cannot wait.
