| Another offering from exceptional author Rene Lyons, Tempting Darkness is a complicated and complex novel weaving in rich historical background in stunning detail with a contemporary set of plots whose volatility and sensuality, coupled with astonishing sensory perceptiveness, will make the reader’s hair curl with excitement and delight. Lucian was a dedicated Templar Knight, continuing the battles even after his faith dissolved on the battlefields of the Holy Land. Once he became a vampire, he was condemned by the Deity, and returned home to his ancestral estate a burned and battered entity. Unfortunately, his need for healing evoked a bloodlust so powerful that he destroyed his family, resulting in deeper damnation. Condemned to eternity, he finds himself seven centuries later on the track of his brother Stephan, who because of Lucian’s actions had become a renegade vampire. Innocent young Stephan had developed a horrifying sadistic nature after becoming renegade. A trail of blood-drained, battered bodies in his wake led Lucian to him, only to result in Lucian’s capture and the continuing torment of young Jessica, an innocent young woman whom Stephan had also abducted, hoping to use her as bait to elicit Lucian’s bloodlust, thus damning Lucian for eternity. But Lucian finds Jessica’s innocence compelling, and desires to rescue her, then to win her trust and love. |
