註釋
From S. M. Stirling, the “master of speculative fiction” (
Library Journal
) and the author of the
New York Times
bestselling Novels of the Change, comes a new vision, as a man battles the dark forces of the world—including those in his own blood…
Aeons ago,
Homo nocturnus
ruled the Earth. Possessing extraordinary powers, they were the source of all manner of myths and legends. Though their numbers have been greatly reduced, they exist still—though not as purebreds.
Adrian Brézé is one such being. Wealthy and reclusive, he is more Shadowspawn than human. He rebelled against his own kind, choosing to live as an ordinary man, fighting against his darker nature. But Adrian’s sister is determined to bring back the reign of the Shadowspawn, and now she has struck him at his weakest point by kidnapping his human lover, Ellen.
To save Ellen—and perhaps all of humanity—Adrian must rejoin a battle he swore he would never fight again.
