Universe
Eons ago, vampires tried to turn the Dark Fae in order to harness their power. Instead, they created a demonic enemy more powerful than they dared to dream. Bent on enslaving the world, the Vampiric Fae have been quietly massing their strength for centuries. Now, Myst, queen of the Indigo Court, is rising again...and a long-prophesied war is brewing...
Born a witch, Cicely Waters can control the wind. When her Elemental warns her that her aunt and cousin are in danger, she packs her Pontiac GTO and returns home for the first time in twenty years. But the magical town of New Forest, Washington has changed. The Indigo Court holds the city in fear; people are vanishing, and strange deaths plague the town. Swept into an unexpected and passionate reunion with her trusted childhood friend Grieve, the Fae prince who taught her how to harness the wind, Cicely finds herself with a fierce and territorial lover. But Grieve has become enslaved by Myst's court, and now both lovers must walk a fine line to survive the machinations of the Vampiric Fae Queen. Caught between two evils, both vying for supremacy, Cicely must fight for her family and her future. As she discovers the hidden secrets to her own heritage, will she lose her soul in the process?
"For several reasons, NIGHT MYST has the look and feel of story written at the climax of an epic tale. This is not the time to be asking too many questions; this is the time when you have to watch to see who will live and who will die...NIGHT MYST was an adventurous, fast read that had the right mix of tension, passion and tenderness." Flames Rising.com
"As a reader I sympathize and feel for her characters, and how the hits never seem to stop coming. But as a testament to Ms Galenorn's skill, I am never left with the sense that they do not have a chance to succeed. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy a dark, edgy, sensuous read that never lets up on the tension." Book Pushers.com
"This new Indigo Court series is exciting and puts an unique twist on the paranormal world leaving the reader begging for more. Yasmine Galenorn's imagination is a beautiful thing." Fresh Fiction.com
"My favorite part is how the books ends – because you will be dying for book two, Night Veil due out next summer. Night Myst is a great start to a new series." Smexy Books.com
"This is the first in a new Urban Fantasy series and I am definitely looking forward to the next one...There is great worldbuilding here and that is one thing that I love about Ms Galenorn's books, is her worldbuilding...Cicely is a good character. She is brave but not stupid about it. She is not afraid to ask for help or do research before heading out to confront things. But she is not perfect, she does her best with what she has..." The Book Binge.com
" Fans of Ms. Galenorn will immediately recognize that this series is edgier
and darker than her famous Otherworld series, and that's not a bad thing. While
I love the Sisters of the Moon, I think perhaps this is the series Yasmine
Galenorn was meant to write. There are subtleties and threads you can see
beginning and starting to twist through this first book that hint of darkness
and loss and all manner of self-discovery that are going to keep people guessing
for years to come..." Seattle Mystery Bookshop
