Shadowlight

This month your book club will be featuring Shadowlight, the first novel in my new Kyndred paranormal romance series.  Many of you are familiar with my Darkyn series novels, but what you don't know is that the Kyndred are the Darkyn's secret progeny: ordinary human being who are unaware they've been altered by Kyn DNA, and who are destined to become the next generation of heroes.

In Shadowlight you'll meet Jessa Bellamy, a woman who can see anyone's darkest secrets with a single touch.  She's tried to hide her psychic ability from everyone, but a biotech company called GenHance has discovered her talent, and intends to take her, kill her and harvest her priceless DNA to sell it to the highest bidder.

A mysterious photographer named Gaven Matthias is also interested in Jessa; he's been trying to find her for months.  When GenHance makes their move, Gaven has no choice but to kidnap Jessa himself so he can protect her and convince her to join him in helping protect the Kyndred.  Jessa discovers that she can't see any of Gaven's secrets, so she doesn't know if he's telling the truth, but as a monstrous assassin created by GenHance's experiments closes in on them, she must decide if the strong attraction they share is proof enough that Gaven is her greatest ally - or is a smokescreen hiding a terrible truth.

If you liked my Darkyn novels, I think you'll find the Kyndred books just as interesting.  The characters share much in common with the Kyn, particularly when it comes to their unique, superhuman abilities.  They also face many new challenges as they struggle to find each other and their place in the world.  I can promise that you Darkyn fans will see in this new series some very familiar faces; part of the story in Shadowlight features Lucan and Sam from Dark Need.
I do hope you enjoy the new series, and my thanks to all of you who have been such wonderful supporters of my Darkyn novels.

Always,
Lynn Viehl
