| SCIONS: RESURRECTION
- Patrice Michelle Scions, Book 1 Silhouette Nocturne #31 ISBN 13: 978-0-373-061778-4 ISBN: 0-373-61778-X January 2008 Paranormal Series Romance To exorcise the demons of her past, librarian Ariel Swanson writes a fictional book about vampires. Though they have been extinct for twenty-five years, the book causes quite a stir, and there are accusations that Ariel is fond of the monsters. The controversy shocks her, but nothing could have prepared her for the nightmare her life is plunged into when she gives a television interview. Kidnapped by a stranger with superhuman strength, Ariel quickly learns vampires aren’t as extinct as the world believes them to be. Jachin Black is stunned when he reads the prophecy in Ariel’s book. An elder of the Sanguinas clan foretold of the human who would be the vampire’s salvation, but only the vampire clan knew of this prophecy. So how is it that Ariel writes it into her book, word for word? Believing that her knowledge means she is the woman in the prophecy, Jachin is determined to bring her to his clan, not only to help his people, but also in the hopes of having his banishment lifted. He’s spent years despising humans as weak and inferior, yet Jachin can’t help but admire Ariel’s spirit. As much as he desires her though, Jachin knows he can never have the woman destined to be not only the salvation of the vampires, but their leader’s mate. Patrice Michelle has created a harsh yet intriguing world with SCIONS: RESURRECTION, the first novel in her new trilogy. Jachin was banished from his clan, and after spending so many years on his own, feels that he has lost his humanity. He clings to the prophecy as the means of saving himself as well as his people. Violence cost Ariel everything, and she has spent her life looking over her shoulder, afraid of the vampires responsible for the loss of her family. She hopes that writing about them will rid her of her fears, but instead it brings them to life. Both have their reasons for being distrustful, yet they will need to depend on each other in order to survive. Secondary characters include Landon, a werewolf who has an uneasy truce with Jachin; Mira, Jachin’s sister; and various members of the vampire clan, both friend and foe. A captivating tale, SCIONS: RESURRECTION should not be missed, and I look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy. Jennifer Bishop |
