Shattered Blade (Demon Steel, #2)
Description
Shattered Blade is the first of the Demon Steel novels, the world of heroes and living steel. Devin James wields a demon blade-or does the demon blade wield him? The bond between man and steel is soul deep, the source of Devin's power and an ever-present torment. Struggling against the evil forged within the blade, Devin patrols the dark streets of Albuquerque, searching for innocents to rescue. That's how he finds Natalie Chambers.... Natalie is sure that helping Devin is another in a long series of very bad decisions, but she can't abandon the man who saved her life-a man who believes that the demon blade might turn him into a monster. She is powerless to resist their fierce attraction. But love is their only chance at salvation. Can they now find the faith to take that chance? And can they keep the demon blade from the man who would destroy them both? (originally published as taming the Demon.) Reviews: "...Starts out with a bang and just keeps going until the final page... Author Doranna Durgin writes what we want to read." --Fresh Fiction "Innovative premise...notably creative....filled with wonder." --Cataromance.com "Brilliant, original, imaginative, powerful, fun, fast, and furious... I was barely into TAMING THE DEMON when I realized that Doranna Durgin had created something very special indeed. This is a whole, convincing, and utterly fascinating new take on demons and how they might interact with humans.... I want more. Bigger. LONGER!!!! May this be only the beginning." --Julie Czerneda, author of A TURN OF LIGHT
More details
Person
Doranna Durgin is an award-winning author whose quirky spirit has led to an extensive publishing journey across genres, publishers, and publishing lines. Fantasy, Paranormal, Romantic Suspense, Mystery, a batch of tie-in books and a smattering of Science Fiction in both novel and short story forms--you can find them all in her fifty-plus titles, always with a special nod to the animals and natural world we all love. She's best known for the Changespell series featuring former equine Jess, and her most recent release completes the Reckoners trilogy--a powerful ghostbuster raised by a spirit, her brilliantly eccentric backup team, a cat who isn't a cat, and a fiercely driven bounty hunter from a different dimension who brings them together when worlds collide.
Beyond that, she hangs around outside her mountain home with horse and accomplished competition dogs. She doesn't believe in mastering the beast within, but in channeling its power--for good or bad has yet to be decided. She says, "My books are SF/F, mystery, paranormal romance, and romantic suspense. My dogs are Beagles, my home is the Southwest, and the horse wants a cookie!"
