Gideon

The second Nightwalkers thriller 'offers a remarkable twist on the lore of creatures of the night'-from the New York Times-bestselling author of Jacob (Booklist). A sister of the king of Demons a Nightwalker species gifted with the elemental powers of nature Magdelegna is an empath and peacekeeper. But ever since she was rescued from a human necromancer's pentagram, Legna has been feeling restless and hot-tempered, no matter how hard she tries to tamp down her warring emotions. Having existed for more than a millennium, the silver-eyed Gideon is the oldest and most powerful of his kind. A Body Demon, he is a powerful healer, but even he can't cure Legna's long-standing aversion to him. That is, until their latent hostility towards each other explodes into a passionate melding of bodies and minds. Legna has no idea what the infusion of Gideon's power will do to a Demon as young as she is, but she's about to find out. A shocking betrayal puts them on the front lines of a battle against the fear, hatred, and prejudice of corrupted humans and their tainted black magic. '[A] seductively crafted universe . . . Psychological depth, vivid detail and personal chemistry . . . make its sensitive, scorching romantic components so compelling.' Publishers Weekly 'Second in Frank's spicy Nightwalkers series, this fascinating story skillfully reprises characters from the first book while providing a self-contained, fully charged story of its own.'
