Nick –Leader of the half-breeds and
the last true hero. He’s spent his life fighting a dark pull toward the gods. A
pull he now knows is linked to his father KrĂłnos and the Titan’s plan to escape
from the Underworld.
But Nick’s hidden powers are coveted by more than just
his father. Imprisoned by Hades, Nick battles every form of torture imaginable
as the sadistic god schemes to break him. Only one thing is keeping him sane.
One woman who gives him the strength to fight the relentless darkness. She has
a dangerous plan of her own, though, and as Nick’s powers grow stronger, even
she might not be enough to alter his destiny.
As the fate of the world hangs in the balance, Nick’s
allegiances are tested. And no one knows whether he will choose to fight for
good or succumb to the sinister lure of evil. Not even him.
Nick
Cynna
If you have had the pleasure of reading this series from
the beginning, you will understand why this book is so satisfying. The author
continues to enhance the complex world of the Argonauts. Through each successive book, Elisabeth
Naughton has added complicated and satisfying layers. This is one of her best.
Nick is the quintessential anti-hero with a heart of
gold. His presence in book one, Marked,
is both menacing and protective. As an other,
(as in non-human), he extends himself to the Misos, the half breeds of humans
and Argonauts. Nick has had a presence
in each book and FINALLY we get his story.
Cynna is his perfect counterpart. Of course, she is strong, but she is also
courageous and she is a little dark. He finds the woman who can understand his
dark, twisted side. With that
connection, they help keep their darkness in check. It is a pleasure to watch them interact. This
couple is not Superman and Wonderwoman. They are Batman and Catwoman.
This is a great addition to the series.
I've always loved Nick and I'm thrilled at where Elisabeth Naughton took this
story. Yeah for the anti-hero!
