Archive of Fire

I have retained the rights to this book and it will soon be out of print. I’ll update it and publish it again in 2024-5

Twins Aidan and Kaelin didn’t realize until they got to university that most guys don’t learn five ways to kill a man by the age of fourteen. Still, since their estranged father descends from the demon Asmodai, it’s probably worth knowing how to defend themselves. But as years pass and threat never materializes, the twins suppose their mom is just paranoid – until she disappears. Their father tells them Asmodai has taken possession of their mother in order to infiltrate Sentinel, a treacherous coalition of demidemon rebels determined to protect humankind from the demon legions. The twins form a grudging alliance with Sentinel to rescue her, but when Asmodai murders their father to incite war, Sentinel starts to implode and Aidan and Kaelin must battle an enemy who wears their mother’s face.

From the first line to the very last, I was engaged in the action, dialogue, and hunky main characters. I had not intended to read the novel in one sitting, but once I started it, the story filled my entire Saturday, leaving me breathless and wanting to read more when the final lines were written. Donna Hole writer and reviewer
