Knight Avenged (Circle of Seven #2)
by Coreene Callahan
Synopsis
Alone in a world on the brink of war…two unlikely allies will discover a love greater than time.
Exiled from her home, powerful oracle Cosmina Cordei holds the key to uniting those protecting mankind from evil. But just as she makes her way into the holy city to perform an ancient rite, the enemy closes in for the kill…
Drawn by a destiny he won’t accept, elite assassin Henrik Lazar detests the mystical curse handed down by his mother. But when the sorcery in his blood is activated and past pain comes back to haunt him, his new abilities come into play and he must learn to control them.
Rescued by Henrik in the heat of battle, Cosmina must decide whether to trust the assassin who loathes the goddess she serves or face certain death on her own. Forced into an untenable position, Henrik is left with a terrible choice—protect the magical Order he despises, or deny destiny and lose the woman he loves forever.

Thoughts:
Love a man with a weapon. The hero's stance is what got me all crazy about this cover. It screams I am a kind of man not to be messed with. Aside from the sexy man candy I am joying the mixture of colors and the smog.
Lovely pick of the week. I really love this author, but haven't read this series...yet. Its definitely on my list. I agree with you on the mix of colors, its full of mystery and intrigue and makes me just want to buy it so I can figure out why. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have book one in her Dragon series. Seen many great reviews for that series.
DeleteI think I want to grab on to his arms or better yet he grabs me. I don't know those are nice arms.
ReplyDeleteNice strong arms to cuddle into.
DeleteI don't know, girl, I may have to fight you for those arms! :)
DeleteThose are for sure arms to fight for.
DeleteAgain, welcome back to L4C!

Enjoy!
