Description

In this highly anticipated addition to the RITA® Award-winning Order of the Blade series, this stunningly sexy, action-packed paranormal romance between forced mates reveals the power of true love against the darkest evil, by New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Rowe.

"Adventurous, romantic, HOT, steamy!” ~Melinda (Five-star Goodreads Review on Darkness Awakened)

Ajax Steele has fought against evil for centuries, a brutal life that commanded the ultimate sacrifice. When a dangerous enemy resurfaces, Ajax must sever ties with his team and go deep to stop him. His only chance? Team up with the alluringly sexy woman destined to kill him the moment they fall in love.

Cursed with a rare magic, Madison Locke has spent her life on the run from assassins, living in the shadows to conceal a terrible secret. But when her sister is kidnapped by a merciless hunter, Madison must emerge from hiding to save her. To succeed, she must recruit the help of a dangerously tempting warrior who awakens a burning hunger inside her that threatens them both. 

A silken caress. A steaming kiss. Can the two fated enemies survive their deadly mate bond and save those they love?

Author's Note: Perfect for brand-new readers to the series and avid fans, Darkness Awakened: Reimagined tells the story of Darkness Awakened in an entirely new way. Early readers claim it is even better than the original. Are they right? You decide.

  • Good but disappointed

    I will start by saying I love this series! I’ve loved of this sequel, but not understanding why so much energy has been wasted to tell Quinn and Grace’s story again, only with different characters. I feel the original characters story has not been completed and now we’re starting over with the exact same story line as book 1 in book 12. It’s a great read and I enjoyed revisiting this series. But will say I was disappointed to read the same plot.

  • Everything I love about Stephanie Rowe is on brilliant display!

    **Presented with an ARC by the author via BookFunnel in exchange for an honest review.** After reading this book, one that is part of a larger series but can stand on its own, I am desperate to read the others that came before and any that may come after. The emotion Stephanie evokes in every word brings the characters to life in such sharp relief, that you forget you’re reading a book. I never wanted to put this book down, even though from the moment I started reading there seemed to be some kind of cosmic keep-away game going on. It’s the little things, the tiny details, that add so much more to this book than dialogue ever could. The micro expressions, the details of Madison’s environment, the glances from strangers that can make or break Madison’s mood. The emotional upheaval caused by all that comes with and from being Illusionists, the Calydon warriors from atheism Order of the Blade that chase Madison and her sister, Ashley. I have read Stephanie Rowe’s romances before, but this urban fantasy is right on par with Brittni Chenelle, A.D. Winter, Mary Fan, and Megan Blackwood. Fans of Stephanie Rowe’s other work will recognize her depth of emotion and attention to detail that brings this story to life in a way that is just breathtaking. I cannot recommend this book enough!

  • Rowe has done it again!!

    I’m so glad to read another book in this series it’s been awhile. The characters are well written and developed and the storyline is filled with everything I have come to love about this series. I received a copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

    It was so much fun to see this story from another side! I’ve loved the Order of the Blade series for a long time, so I was excited for even another small taste of these epic heroes. This was so much more than I expected! I can’t wait for more!

  • A Happy Return to the Order

    I first found Stephanie Rowe through her Order of the Blade books. Its been a while since I’ve read a book from this series, but I’m SO glad I came back to it with Darkness Awakened Reimagined. It reminded me of what I loved about the series and I’ll be going back for a re-read while I eagerly anticipate the next book. Fast-paced, with heat and action - I couldn’t put it down and stayed up all night to finish it. Well done, Stephanie! I can’t wait for the next one!

  • Prefer the original

    I’d like to start with how much of a fan I am to this series. With this being said, I found it hard to get into this book at first. I kept trying to compare it to the original version. Characters were different but the story was pretty much the same. After telling myself a few times to think of this story as something completely different I was able to get into it. I would recommend this book, only suggestion is for you not to compare this and the first book.

  • Darkness Awakened: Reimagined Was Amazing!

    No spoilers of any kind included. Darkness Awakened: Reimagined was totally amazing! But then again every book that Stephanie Rowe creates is fantastic! I absolutely love the way she weaves her stories! So it’s most definitely going to be a yes I do recommend this book because I loved it and I think you will too! *An ARC was provided by the author, publisher or a promotional service and I have chosen to publish a fair and honest review*
