1) Mass Market Paperback Book Knight of Darkness (Lords of Avalon, Book 2) by Avon. Wasn´t sure how I would like this series, but it held my attention well. Enjoyed the setting (medieval times with characters who time travel-love gargoyles who attend Star Trek conventions!), the eternal battle between good and evil, and the what-if´s of life AFTER King Arthur. Just the right amount of passion too!¤

2) Mass Market Paperback Book Knight of Darkness (Lords of Avalon, Book 2) by Avon. one time is not enough. I enjoyed this book so much that I will read it again. The book makes you feel love, hate,and the loneliness in each character. I had to go back and buy the first lords of Avalon after i read Knight of Darkness. read it and i don´t think you will regret it. fun, sexy,and action pack. you actually feel like you are reading a movie. This woman is one of the best writers in the world to me. I love every book I´ve read of hers. you will enjoy every word,and every book seems like a dream.

(A super big fan )¤

3) Mass Market Paperback Book Knight of Darkness (Lords of Avalon, Book 2) by Avon. I loved this simple tale of good versus evil. Varian de Luc knew who he was, accepted it, and his fate. The "Knight of Darkness" (aka Varian)was mistreated all of his life by those who were suppose to love him and those who should have respected him. Determined not become the one thing that everyone expected (evil), Varian set out to save his kingdom and everything that he believes in, Avalon and King Arthur. Born of deceit to Lancelot (thinking his wife was Guinevere) and his wife, Varian was always the one symbol of Lancelots weakness and his wife´s betrayal. Never loved or respected by anyone, including his natural mother Narishka, or his fellow Knights, Varian worked tirelessly to fulfill his destiny. Although throughout the novel, we (the reader) know Varian´s true heart but we see him struggle with the fact that he is unsure if he will become a Dark/Evil knight, or a good one. Sent to discover who has killed one of the Grail Knights, Varian returns to a time where his mother, Narishka, now rules Camelot with the evil Morgen, who has risen to power following the death of King Arthur. While hoping to attract her son to the dark side, Narishka uses Merewyn to tempt her son. Merewyn once made a pact with a Adoni in an attempt to circumvent her father´s desire for her to marry someone she did not love, and who she feared only loved her for her beauty. As they grow to know each other, he vows that he will protect her, no matter what! He is trying hard to return Merewyn to Avalon to Merlin so that they can determine who the traitor is. Along their way, Merewyn and Varian meet a caste of characters (among them Blaise, a half blind/half dragon; triplets who use to be the lovers of Morgen; a loving rock/gargoyle named Beau) who all accompany them on their journey. While fighting those things that they can see and not see, the dynamic duo find love. Read this whimsical tale and I am sure it will leave you wanting more. Enjoy!

4) Mass Market Paperback Book Knight of Darkness (Lords of Avalon, Book 2) by Avon. I didn´t realize until about halfway through that I was reading the second in a series. It didn´t detract from the story, and I didn´t feel like I´d missed anything.

Sherrilyn Kenyon (writing here as Kinley MacGregor) continues to surprise me with her depth of imagination and skill at taking well known stories and bending them just enough to be unique yet still familiar.

This series revolves around the knights of the round table and King Arthur´s tale. It exists both in and out of time which threw me when the opening scene is a knight solving a Soduku puzzle. The anachronisms later cause some of the funniest scenes in the novel. Not only did I get used to the "timeless" idea of the setting, I appreciated it´s novelty.

Both the hero and heroine are well developed characters with believable backstories, although the heroine does seem (at first) a bit vain even after having centuries to reflect on how that vice got her into trouble.

I found the hero amazingly sexy, attractive and just the sort of hero I like in my romance. Protective, but not overbearing. And very hot.

I mentioned the humor, but I prize an author´s ability to make me smile and laugh as well as keep me on the edge of my seat with action and plot and this book delivers.

I can´t wait to get my hands on a copy of Sword of Darkness, the first in this series.¤

5) Mass Market Paperback Book Knight of Darkness (Lords of Avalon, Book 2) by Avon. Having read "Sword of Darkness" (Lords of Avalon Book 1), I eagerly purchased Book 2. However, "Knight of Darkness" (Lords of Avalon Book 2) wasn´t what I hoped it would be. Although the book is o.k., in my opinion it lacked the style and fast paced action of the first one. I actually found Book 2 to be a bit boring at times! Book 1 is by far the winner of these two books.¤

6) Mass Market Paperback Book Knight of Darkness (Lords of Avalon, Book 2) by Avon.

For countless centuries, I´ve been the assassin for the infamous Merlin, even though the woman who birthed me sits at the right hand of our enemy, Morgen le Fey. Now both my mother and Morgen have decided that it´s time I take my place on their side of this conflict.

Normally, telling them no wouldn´t be a problem, except for the fact that the good guys I protect think that I´m an even worse demon than the ones we fight. Hmm, maybe they´re right. I have to say that I do enjoy maiming anyone who gets in my way.

At least until my mother gives me a simple choice: join Morgen´s Circle of the Damned or see an innocent woman die. I´m all for saving the innocent, but Merewyn isn´t as innocent as she seems. And she´s none too fond of the fact that her fate is in my dubious hands. Personally I´m all for taking the easy way out, but leaving her to Morgen is rough, even for me. Now the only way to save both our lives is to face the evilest forces ever known—my mother and Morgen. And two people who know nothing of trust must learn to rely on each other or die: provided we don´t kill each other first.
