I didn't realize there would be no resolution at the end... it's just a lead-in for book 2. I prefer series books that have some kind of denouement, even though we know the overall storyline is TBC. ( ) En los últimos días del verano irlandés del s. XII, cuando el cielo se oscureció y se llenó de relámpagos, el hechicero contemplaba el rugiente mar encima del acantilado. Elevando su grito de pena hacia la tormenta, Hoyt Mac Cionaoith clama contra el ser demoníaco que se ha llevado a su hermano gemelo, separándolo de su familia. Ese cruel ser es Lilith. Durante miles de años, ha atraído con sus engaños a incontables hombres condenándolos a la inmortalidad con su beso y robándoles el alma. Pero ahora, esta poderosa vampiresa hará lo que sea para gobernar el mundo. Y ese día, aunque Hoyt no encuentra a la oscura sirena que buscaba, recibirá la ayuda de la diosa Morrigan que le otorgará los poderes necesarios para cumplir su ansiada venganza. A cambio, debe encontrar otros cinco compañeros para formar un círculo lo suficientemente poderoso como para destruir a Lilith y a su batallón del mal. Un círculo con seis miembros: él mismo, la bruja, el guerrero, el sabio, el que adopta varias formas, y aquél al que perdió. Ahora, ha viajado al Nueva York de nuestros días, donde se topará con su gemelo, ahora vampiro, Cian, y Glenna, una bella bruja. Dos guerreros más, Moira y Larkin, se unirán en su lucha. Y mientras la pasión surge entre Hoyt y Glenna, los enemigos resurgirán de entre las sombras y el Círculo de Seis, deberá prepararse para el momento decisivo de su confrontación con Lilith. Loved the characters and their relationships. The premise mechanism of fulfilling prophecy is a fun take on that pattern. Only concern was pacing. The story seemed to end on or right after a climatic spike, it made the ending seem jarring. Yes yes, I'll read the 2nd but I prefer each book in a series to end on a book resolution even if series action isn't resolved. Perhaps it should have ended before the last plot building event (purposely vague for no spoilers) Entertaining story. Lilith, vampire to end all vampires is raising an army to destroy all the worlds. The goddess Morrigan calls a circle of six to stand against her and romance ensues. It's pretty silly, but also enjoyable. I think she could have done it better in one book, rather than a trilogy, because they're fairly predictable, but, hey, a gal's got to make a living.
At long last, the incomparable Roberts leaps into the paranormal genre in a big way! Roberts wastes no time kicking off a trilogy that immediately immerses readers in a complex mythology that will require much dedication and sacrifice from its protagonists. Like her earlier trilogies, intriguing pairs of disparate couples must band together for a common goal. Book one does an excellent job of setting up the seemingly impossible quest and introducing the "Circle of Six." Once you start, you won't want to stop this thrill ride. Appartiene alle Serie
