Customer Reviews

Explodes all stereotypes!

The thing I liked best about Come the Night was how angels and vampires interacted through the ages, and what happens when those worlds collide. The book is exquisitely written. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I, personally, was hoping for more peripheral historical information about what was going on in the world throughout the centuries Come The Night spans, and what it might have been like to live in them. Still, it's a fantastic read!

Reluctantly as he had not done with his mortal daughter, Romulus agrees to convert Lazerus to a life as an undead under the stipulation that he change Octavia too so she can teach him the way of the Nazarene as he has followed. With an heir, a weary Romulus can enter the sun.In 1095 Ireland Lazerus is married to a tracker Neomina, keeper of sacred holy icons.

The cast is deep and the key members so developed that angels, vampyres, trackers, and demons seem almost everyday normal though the adventures are not.

In an effort to save her infant's existence, Octavia presents her son Lazarus to his grandfather Romulus, pleading that he be made a Vampyre. Lazarus was born the son of an who mated the mortal woman. Legend says that only demons come from the union of a mortal to an angel. Therefore, to prevent her son from becoming one of the damned souls of the Nephilim, Octavia wants him to become one of the immortal. Out of love for his daughter and grandson, Romulus complies before ending his own existence and passing leadership of The Tribe to his grandchild, with his daughter leading in the interim.Just as the Nephilim once stalked his infant life, so do they now pursue Lazarus. For 600 years he has led The Tribe. They are the New Breed, those who feed on the food and wine of paradise in lieu of blood. He has married a mortal woman, a Tracker sworn to destroy Vampyres named Neomina Delacroix. Prophesy states that from their union will come a savior born to destroy the Dark Breed, those who feed on human flesh. Lazarus' archangel uncle was long ago appointed to search for the soul who would destroy him. But Lazarus does not trust his guardian, believing him to have killed his father. Little do either Lazarus or his archangel uncle suspect their blood tie to the demon that would destroy them all.Author Angelique Armae pens a groundbreaking mythology regarding vampyre and archangels in COME THE NIGHT. The tale begins in Rome 476 A.D., continuing in Ireland 1095. Christian mythos lends a powerful structure to the tale, including an amulet containing a few drops of Christ's blood and a stake made of the wood of the cross and the silver from the platter that server John the Baptist's Head. A new interpretation of the events in the Garden of Eden provides the existence of the Vampyers and the Nephilim. Such profound theology lends the tale a uniquely original flavor that separates it from the vast market of vampire books. With powerful yet vulnerable characterizations, an intricate plot, and a scintillating voice, Armae presents readers with a novel impossible to put down, and leaves them hungering for the next book of the series. COME THE NIGHT earns the WordWeaving Award for Excellence.
