Immortals After Dark #11

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release: February 15, 2011
It’s a gripping tale of a battle-maddened warrior driven by revenge and the Valkyrie temptress who haunts his dreams.

He vowed he’d come for her. . .

Murdered before he could wed Regin the Radiant, warlord Aidan the Fierce seeks his beloved through eternity, reborn again and again into new identities, yet with no memories of his past lives – only an endless yearning.

She awaits his return. . .

When Regin encounters Declan Chase, the brutal Celtic soldier, she recognizes her proud warlord reincarnated. But Declan takes her captive, intending retribution against all immortals, unaware that he belongs to their world.

To sate a desire more powerful than death...

Yet every reincarnation comes with a price, for Aidan is doomed to die when he remembers his past. To save herself from Declan’s torment, will Regin rekindle the memories of the passion they once shared even if it means once again losing the only man she could ever love?

Thoughts: Bold font, a single kiss of a scar and a storm palette reminiscent of birch striking with a defining detail and splash of vibrancy.

Whilst holding it close, I feel slightly cheated - with the presence of a female model on the UK edition. I'm deeply curious of how - if ever - the depiction of a Valkyrie or another preternatural female would be represented within the IAD series in regards to the recent change in cover direction.

Immortals After Dark #11

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release: March 3rd, 2011

Edition: UK
A ruthless Norse warrior will defeat anything standing between him and his beautiful obsession – even death itself.

A millennium ago, Aidan the Fierce lost his heart to the Valkyrie Regin the Radiant, but he was murdered before he could win her. Since then, he has reincarnated into different identities, with his memory of the past buried deep. This time he has returned as Declan Chase, a human soldier bent on exterminating all immortals—including Regin, his newest captive.

The proud Northman that Regin still mourns has been replaced by a twisted madman. Once tortured by immortals, Chase now metes his vengeance against them, and he’s fixated on her. Regin’s only hope is to make him remember her, though she knows that whenever he recovers his memories, history will repeat itself, and he’ll be lost to her again…
