Description
The most unexpected of all allies to Poseidon’s warriors has proven to be the fiercest—Daniel, a vampire and Night Guild mage. But even the strongest alliance can be destroyed when an 11,000 year-old desire is reborn…
A vampire’s oath, a maiden’s quest…
Daniel, vampire and ally of the Warriors of Poseidon, has fought on the side of humanity—even against his fellow creatures of the night—for more than 11,000 years. But the crushing weight of futility and the reality of always being starkly, utterly alone has forced him to finally give into despair. He took the first step into the sunlight that would destroy him—and instead walked into Atlantis.
And the blackest of magic that could consume them both…
Eleven thousand years ago, Serai was one of a group who agreed to be placed into magical stasis to ensure the future of the Atlantean race. When a dark sorceress steals the gemstone that protects her sleeping sisters, she awakens to a vastly changed world—and the one man she could never, ever forget. And with an ancient evil tracking their every step, the long-lost lovers must battle both the darkest of magic and the treacheries of their own hearts.
Review
If there was ever a better titled book for me than VAMPIRE IN ATLANTIS, I haven’t heard it. I’m obsessed with Plato’s fabled island (I have an entire section of my bookshelf devoted to books about it) and I live and breath vampires. In Day’s Warriors of Poseidon series, Atlantis still exists safely under the sea, it’s warriors charged by Poseidon to protect humanity and recover the stones from his trident to raise Atlantis once again.
In VAMPIRE IN ATLANTIS, 90% of the story takes place in Arizona with vampire Daniel and mage Serai searching for a powerful Atlantean stone that Seria is bound to. I did wish that more of the story had taken place in Atlantis, although I’m sure that’s true of the previous books. The quest is as much about a second chance at love for Daniel and Seria after lies separated them for millennia, as it was about recovering the stone. They fell sweetly in love once and were torn away from each other. The romance that rekindles when they are reunited displays just how deep that initial love was. There are thankfully very little misunderstanding obstacles to overcome, just insecurity and feelings of unworthiness that I found endearing on both sides.
Yes, there are six previous books in this series that I haven’t read (yet), and yes, there are lots of characters who pop up from those books, but rather than feeling like I was missing crucial back story, I’m just motivated to go back and read them all (especially Justice’s story in ATLANTIS UNLEASHED). There are also two other new romances in the book that spark to life, possibly to be further explored in future books.
Overall, VAMPIRE IN ATLANTIS is full of strong, fierce warriors to whom honor is a part of their souls. The women they love are no less impressive adding their own strength and courage to the battles they face. Specifically, Daniel and Seria’s love story is as passionate and romantic as I could hope for. I’d still like to spend more time in Atlantis, and the story might have had a better pace with a few less side plots and POVs, but I’m looking forward to the next Warriors of Poseidon book, HEARTS OF ATLANTIS, which will be published on January 3, 2012, and to catching up on the previous books in the meantime.
