Product Description:
The most anticipated story in the blockbuster Dark-Hunter series. The never-before-revealed story of the Dark-Hunter leader, Acheron. He was made human in order to escape death, but in death he was reborn a god. . .
Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of shame. However, his human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Then, brought back against his will, Acheron became the sole defender of mankind.
Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he’ll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.
Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both.
War has never been more deadly... or more fun.

I'll add my two cents to the other 370+ reviews...
I think this may have been one of the best books I've ever read. The range of emotions I felt through the book was incredible, which is why I said it was one of the best.
I will say that the first couple hundred pages are can be very hard to read, Ash's life is not an easy one and the abuse is heartbreaking. The author said she didn't pull any punches and she doesn't.
The first 400 or so pages of the book ... Read More

I love this series of books! This is not my normal reading material but a friend introduced me and now I'm hooked on Sherrilyn Kenyon. - SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW - I can not tell you how excited I was that Acheron's story was going to be told, but let me tell you it isn't an easy story to read. I felt the first part of the book was very difficult to read due to the history of violence that makes Acheron who he becomes. Although, once you get through the first of the book, the second half flies by. ... Read More

I'm a huge Dark-Hunter fan, and had been waiting for Ash's story for a while. The story was enjoyable, though there's the double edged sword of finally seeing Ash's side of things. Yes, it was great to tear into the book and finally read his side, but the air of mystery is gone now and Ash doesn't seem as Larger Than Life as he used to.
As far as the story goes, I thought it was good. Some things that could have made it better were to compress the first half, it was too long and drawn ... Read More

I sat down to read this book with high expectations....and I wasn't disappointed. Acheron has always been my favorite DH character. It was a thrill to finally have answers to the questions that have been burning since the first time I met him in 'Unleash the Night' (yeah, I read them out of order the first time through). Now I know where he came by his wisdom, his compassion and his sincere devotion to those he leads and protects. I also finally get why he put up with Artemis for so long (there has ... Read More

At long last the complete story of 'Ash' Acheron. At 723 pages this was three books in one.
Part 1 tells the story of Ash's early life from his sister's point of veiw as diary entries, as she struggles to try an help the poor cursed Ash as a young man. This is heart wrenching, and a bit frustrating as his sister's kindness only leads him to more pain. Part two switches to Ash's point of view and to more torment and his transition from man to God at his death, if you didn't hate Artemis ... Read More

named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be

Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
