A tenuous barrier exists between Earth and the world of the Others. All that stands between Earth being overrun is a group of warriors called Paladins. Each Paladin is gifted with the ability to be revived over and over until finally all traces of humanity are erased and death is the only option. Blake Trahern is a Paladin on the edge until the death of a Regent and close friend forces Blake to risk everything for the Regent’s daughter, Brenna Nichols. Words cannot express the joy at seeing Blake’s story come to life in DARK DEFENDER! Blake was a strong secondary character in the first book of this phenomenal series, DARK PROTECTOR. His struggle to maintain his humanity against all medical odds is a true testament to the power of love. Blake is at the brink of losing all vestiges of his humanity but his feelings for Brenna and her father give him the strength to continue fighting- much to the delight of the reader! DARK DEFENDER can easily be read and understood as a stand alone novel. This reviewer suspects, however, that once readers get a taste of the Paladins of Darkness series, they will be screaming for more. The underlying threads of the story about the mysterious blue stones as well as the inner corruption keep the intrigue level high but Ms. Morgan ensures that readers unfamiliar with the series will quickly ascertain what is going on. Alexis Morgan has done an excellent job at creating this alternate world and populating it with strong, well-developed characters who are both likeable and memorable. DARK DEFENDER skyrockets the Paladins of Darkness series to the top as this is one of the best paranormal series out there! Keep them coming, Ms. Morgan! We want to know more!Reviewed by Debbie
