BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Immortal warrior Gideon Roarke made an oath five hundred years ago to the woman who died for him. The ancient Calydon is ruthless in his quest to honor that promise, even if it means risking everything by teaming up with the one woman who will either destroy him, or finally bring redemption to his blackened, hardened soul.
After escaping from a two-year imprisonment at the hands of a madman, the only thing Lily Davenport wants is to go home and reclaim her life. Unfortunately for Lily, standing between her and that goal is a sensual, demanding protector whose dangerous seduction threatens to claim her life…and her soul.

4 1/2 Stars
Stephanie sucked me back into the world of The Order of the Blade. Amazingly enough I enjoyed book 1 just a little better then book 2. Although I still really enjoyed Darkness Seduced.
Gideon is the tough as nails, has no feelings, totally impossible to kill warrior that everyone fears and all the other warriors look up too. So when Gideon is asked to go save Lily from her prison, he treats this like any other mission. Get in, save the innocent, kill some rogues, and get out. Gideon has the best plans that is until he see Lily being attached by a rogue Calydon. In that moment everything about this mission changed.
Lily has been held captive for the last two years by a monster. He has abused her in everyway possible. But now days have passed and he has not returned from his latest battle. Lily hopes that he is dead, but that also means death for her as she is locked in the basement of his house.
All Lily knows is that she needs to find a way out. She has not survived this long to die now. Plus she know if she stays a greater evil will be coming for her. What Lily doesn’t know yet is that her savior is waiting for her on the other side of the door to freedom, she just has to get to that door.
I enjoyed Gideon & Lily’s story, they are a great couple. Both never back down from a challenge. Both are fiercely protective and determined to save the people around them. But both will have to learn to trust, love and forgive before they can move forward
Darkness Seduced has a great set up for the next installment in The Order of the Blade series Darkness Surrendered coming out May 15.
Huge thank you to Stephanie Rowe for letting me read Darkness Seduced.
Oh wow, this sounds like a very good book. I can't wait to read more.
