Bargain Book: Darkwind: Ancient Enemy 2 by Mark Lukens

Every continental territory is ruled by a Hegemon, the Hegemon in charge of North America is a vampire scientist named Caroline. Ancient Enemies by Brian McKinley begins with Caroline about to leave for a summit meeting of the Hagemony to talk about the future. She is leaving her lover Avery in charge of their home. Meanwhile, Caroline is trying to keep her position of power in government. He loves Caroline but admits that they are very different people and he feels they are growing apart because intellectually he is not in the same league with her.

Caroline tries to give him a position in her cabinet but he shows that he is unqualified for it. While Avery may not belong in the world of politics he has shown his worth in other areas. The love story between Avery and Caroline is what sold me on Ancient Enemies.

I loved hearing from both viewpoints and how they want to stay together despite the fact that they are so different. Things get more complicated when Avery meets someone more like him and Caroline starts to realize some hard truths about herself. Just when I thought that the love story was the best part of the book we get more into the secret society of The Hagemony and how their government is made up along with the corruption behind it. Each branch of the Hagemoney is described in detail and they are all different depending on what part of the world they are located in.

Ancient Enemies is a sequel that works as a stand-alone novel. This book is a love story, political thriller, action adventure tale and a horror novel. It looks at the complexity of what makes a relationship and makes you look at how corrupt government is.

Aria of Sorrow part 20: The 2nd ancient book

In her role as acting Hegemon of North America, she is consumed and battered by the non-stop political maneuvering and deadly power struggles that define the lives of the ruling class. Avery, meanwhile, feels left behind and neglected, struggling to find his place in her world. Stunned by a vivid vision of a horrific multiple murder, he is drawn into the investigation when they learn that a powerful vampire political dynasty has been brutally eliminated and the event is verified.

Uncovering the truth behind the murders rocks the foundations of an already politically unstable landscape and Caroline must attend a Gathering of the Ruling Council and work quickly to consolidate her power against those who would wrest it from her. I confess I initially cringed when confronted with the political thriller aspect of this story, since all I had to do was read my news feeds to watch this stuff unfold in real time.

Bargain Book: Darkwind: Ancient Enemy 2 by Mark Lukens

What I wanted was escapism and to vicariously experience an adventure in an alien world. To my delight, the political machinations of the ruling class in this story helped to anchor the plot in something real and tangible, driving the pace of the story like a juggernaut. The main characters are realistically drawn, complete with vulnerabilities, emotional ambiguities and self-doubt. The villain is despicable, yet fascinating and complex. Another plus is how the author drew from the vampire mythos of different cultures to create exotic characters.
