The Sword of Darkness
by: Kinley MacGregor



Synopsis:
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 youth has become the most powerful—and feared—man in the world. Ruthless and unrestrained, Kerrigan has long ceased to be human.
In the heart of London...
A spirited peasant mired in drudgery, Seren dreams of becoming her own woman, but never expects that by fleeing her fate, she will meet her destiny.
Their worlds are forever changed...
Kerrigan's goal is simple: barter or kill Seren to claim Arthur's Round Table. Yet she is the one person who holds no fear of him. More than that, her nobility sparks something foreign inside him. 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. Now Seren's courage has forced him into the light that will bring either salvation to both of them...or death.

Review:
I really enjoy Kinely MacGregor's as well as her alter-ego Sherrilyn Kenyon's writing style, she is the type of writer that doesn't hesitate to reuse plots and though that is sometimes a miss for me, in this case it was a strong hit.   She is the master of creating the perfect wounded hero, which would explain her substantial legion of followers.  Kerrigen is someone that is missing a part of himself, dare I say humanity.  Seren is the one that helps him realize that and gives a part of herself to help him.  She is one of my favorite types of of heroines.  Worth a read and definitely worth a re-read


This is what I imagine our hero look like



And Seren,

Before you say it, I know Seren is suppose to be blonde.  And yet I feel that she would be the perfect member.  Delicate yet with a core of steel.
