BLURB: Imprisoned and tortured by the demoness who tricked him into betraying the Nightkeepers and the woman he loves, Rabbit must endure excruciating pain to protect the diminished Skywatch army as the end-time approaches. Although an ancient prophecy says his unique powers are key to winning the final battle in the doomsday war, he hasn’t just lost his credibility—he’s lost his magic.
Myrinne is far from the woman Rabbit once
knew—she’s got magic now, and despite emotional scars, she’s strong enough to
help the Nightkeepers. And yet she’s not prepared to handle the fiercely driven
man he’s become or the new, dangerous feelings that spark between them.
With the barrier ready to fall and a xombi
outbreak in the human world, Rabbit and Myrinne must forge a new partnership
amid dangerous instability and the threat of an undead army. In the end, it
will be up to Rabbit to master his ferocious magic—or all will be lost. For
him, for the woman he doesn’t have the right to love anymore, and for the fate
of the world..
LT’S REVIEW: What do
you do when you have been raised to defend the world? Thirty years after the king
unknowing killed off all their parents, the children are left to save the world, and they learn within a few days of doomsday that the gods they
have been praying to may be be the wrong ones. They have only hours to disown them
or trust them. King Jag made the mistake
30 yrs ago while trying to change the future. The Mayans say the world will end
on December 21, 2012, but King Jag hoped to save them all those years of worry and
stop it sooner with visions he was given from his “gods”. Sadly it ended with
all the magical mages dying except for one and a handful of the their children.
Most children were raised in secret by their Winikin. Winikin, were known as a race of
people who served the Nightkeepers because they knew they had the world to
save. But all that changed when the Winikin came into power themselves and became
equal to the Nightkeepers close to the end date.
Rabbit has
been a rebel his whole life, his father hates him and doesn’t try to hide it.
His father is the last Mage from the massacre 30 years before but he disappeared
after the massacre in search of his wife and twin boys going mad with grief.
This landed him in a village where he was drugged and used. Later her learned that he
was to father the Crossover, who is a child born of both good and bad, because Rabbit is not one of the few children that survived that night. Knowing his son may be the cause of the end of the
world he took him and escaped and kept him alive so the Evil from that village
wouldn’t try again to make another. Now armed with the knowledge of being
the Crossover and why his father hated him his whole life, Rabbit has to prove
himself to his fellow Nightkeepers after years of misbehaving and using untrustworthy magic. Rabbit has to learn to
control both powers without it controlling him AGAIN, which happened 3
months before the end date. So desperate for the love his father never gave him, he
went in search of his mother only to find a demoness pretending to be his
mother and tricking him into not only betraying the Nightkeepers but the woman he
claimed to love. She also sent him to a hell to be tortured.
Myrinne's life has always been about Rabbit, feeling she owed him after he saved her
from an adoptive mother who was an evil witch. But 3 months ago when the man she
loved put a knife to her throat and then sacrificed himself to save her life, things changed. She hasn’t been the same and now she's stronger
with Rabbit's magic in her body. Is she strong enough to handle when he comes to her trying to claim her and some of “his” magic back to save the world?
MY RATING: 5
