Alastair Saville, the Earl of Carlisle, blamed his sister’s death on Ellison Montgomery. When he learns the man is to be wed to Victoria Conrad, he sees this as an ideal way to seek revenge for his sister’s demise.
Alastair returned from war badly scarred, to protect him and others he hides his image behind a mask. His injuries and scars have left a permanent reminder of all that he has endured. When he kidnaps Victoria, her beauty enchants him, but he knows that she would never settle for the beast he has become.
Victoria heart goes out to Alastair, for she sees a man who has suffered unspeakable horrors. Although she knows that she is his prisoner, there is something about him that calls out to her heart. Will Victoria be the healing substance Alastair has been seeking to bring light back into his dark existence?
For any Phantom of the Opera/Beauty and the Beast fans LORD OF DARKNESS is a must read book. Ava Bradley’s tale will surely enchant anyone who appreciates a tender hearted romance. I literally fell in love with Victoria and Alastair. Both of them have such dark demons from their past that must be resolved before they are able to set themselves free and accept the love that is offered to them. I highly recommend this book for it is the substance of which true fairytales are derived from.
