ISBN: 9781250012661
As she breaks into the Abbaye Saint-Thomas l’Apost in Montreal, art
restorer Felicity “Fil” Shaltis thinks of ending in prison , but also reflects back
to when she helped her friend Ella Harrow with the now missing Vancouver Art
and History Museum stone gargoyle (see Heart of Stone).
As she illegally enters the museum, obsessed Fil, with no witnesses
around, needs to understand why she finds a stone gargoyle attractive.
The Darkness sends evil to kill Fil. The malevolence fires energy bombs at her,
but the assault awakens Spar the gargoyle who Fil desires. After Fil flees to safety, Spar explains he is
one of seven Guardians created to keep mankind safe from the Darkness. As the couple fusses, fights and falls in
love, they must overcome a curse and save mankind.
The second Gargoyle romantic urban fantasy (see
Heart of Stone) is a fabulous paranormal starring an intriguing lead couple
with totally opposite personalities. Whereas
normally he is stone cold logical (Fil’s entry into his life ends his dispassionate
persona); she is impetuous and impatient to charge head first by taking the
fight to the enemy. With a strong
support cast (that range from the good, the naive and the evil), Christine Warren authors an awesome novel.
