More About This Book

Overview

For centuries Mira has been a nightwalker—an unstoppable enforcer for a mysterious organization that manipulates earth-shaking events from the darkest shadows. But elemental mastery over fire sets her apart from others of her night-prowling breed . . . and may be all that prevents her doom.

The foe she now faces is human: the vampire hunter called Danaus, who has already destroyed so many undead. For Mira, the time has come to hunt . . . or be hunted.

Meet the Author

The bestselling author of the Dark Days series and former financial analyst, Jocelynn Drake lives in Kentucky.

Read an Excerpt

Nightwalker

One

His name was Danaus. And what I remember most were his eyes. I saw them first by lamplight; a flicker of dark cobalt as he paused a distance from me. His eyes were the color sapphires were meant to be, a grim sparkle of pigment. I stared at those eyes, willing time to slow down as I slipped into those still, stygian depths. But it wasn't the waters of the Styx I swam in, but a cool lagoon of Lethe where I bathed in a moment of oblivion.

He stopped on the deserted street outside the edge of a pale pool of light thrown down by a wrought-iron lamp, his eyes darting up and down the empty expanse. He drew in a deep breath. I think he could sense me watching from some perch but could not peg my exact location. His right hand flexed once at his side, and to my surprise he stepped forward into the light, his night vision momentarily destroyed; taunting me with the bait he dangled before my eyes.

I slowly ran my tongue over my teeth. Not only was he impressive to look at, but there was a confidence about him that begged my attention. I was half tempted to step away from the shadow of the chimney and allow the moon to outline my slim form. But I hadn't survived for more than six centuries by making careless mistakes. Balanced on the ridgepole of the three-story house across from him, I watched as he continued down the street. His black leather duster flared as he walked, snapping at his heels like a chained wolf forced to follow its master.

The truth was, I had watched him for more than a month. He'd blown into my territory like a cold wind and wasted no time destroying my kind. In the past weeks he had killed nearly half adozen of my brethren. Almost all had been fledglings, with less than a century to cut their teeth upon, but it was still more than any other had dared.

And these killings had not been spineless daylight stakings. He hunted each nightwalker under the caress of moonlight. I had even watched some of these battles from a hidden perch and barely kept from applauding when he knelt, bloody, over each of his prey, cutting out the heart. He was speed and cunning. And the nightwalkers were bloated on their own inflated sense of power. I was the Keeper of this domain, entrusted with protecting our secret; not protecting those who could not protect themselves.

After weeks of watching my would-be prey, I thought it was time for formal introductions. I knew who he was. More than just another Nosferatu hunter. Something wonderfully more, with a vibrant power all his own. I wanted a taste of that power before he died.

And he knew of me. In their final seconds some of the weak ones had mewled my name, hoping my identity would buy them a last second reprieve. It hadn't. I sped silently along the rooftops, leaping over the gaps and landing with the sure-footed grace of a cat. Slipping past him and down two more blocks to the outer edge of the historic district, I stopped at an abandoned home with a widow's walk and worn red brick that would serve as a nice meeting place. Its single turret and dark windows gazed out toward the river like a silent soldier.

The night air was warm and thick despite the fact that we hadn't had any rain for more than two weeks, leaving the brown lawns struggling from yet another rough summer. Even the crickets seemed to put forth only a halfhearted effort with their chirping, burdened by the oppressive heat. The light breeze that blew in from the sea carried with it more moisture, thickening the air until it carried a weight all its own. I had come to Savannah more than a century ago, seeking anonymity, an escape from the world that had consumed me for nearly five hundred years. I loved Savannah's grace and history, the ghosts that seemed to haunt every shadowy corner and rambling house. Yet I could do without her oppressive summers. I'd spent too many years in cooler climes.

The abandoned house was half hidden behind enormous oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, as if guarded by a pair of grand dames swathed in antique lace. The front of the property was lined with a tall, spike iron fence ending in a pair of stone pillars that flanked the path up to the house. I sat on the top of the left pillar with my legs crossed, waiting for him. The subtle throb of my powers tumbled from my body. I wanted him to follow the trail until he came to me, like the pied piper trilling his merry tune for the children of Hamelin.

Danaus stopped when he reached the edge of the property to my left and stared at me. Yes, it was brazen, and maybe even a little overconfident on my part, but I didn't want him to grow too sure of himself. He would have to work for his blood tonight.

With a slow smile, I rolled off the pillar, disappearing behind the spike fence and into the deeper shadows of the overgrown yard. I cut through the air as if I were made of the night, disappearing through an open window on the second floor at the back of the house.

Waiting in a former bedroom, I listened. Anticipation coiled in my stomach, my body tingling with the thrill of the hunt, so rarely had I the chance to pit myself against something that could actually destroy me. I'd killed my share of human hunters, but they hadn't been a real challenge, waving their silver crosses about and praying to a god they had abandoned until that moment of final judgment. After so many long centuries, there were too few ways in which to feel that rush, to dance along the razor's edge and remember, even if only for a breath, what it had meant to be alive. Danaus would help me remember.

    intriguing in its own right

    I bought this book because of its cover. I work in a bookstore, and I am into a lot of different types. This book is good for lovers of the paranormal and for the new comers who only want to read them because of "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer. The main character is a chick who can kick butt and takes names but isn't overly powerful. I am too lazy to follow links to recommend books. Some other authors you may enjoy are Kim Harrison (strongly recommended), Charlaine Harris (funny and light) The author of "Witchling" and "Changling" (can't remember her name.

    Dark Days¿¿.Nightwalker (book 1)

    Not sure why I procrastinated in reading this book but boy was I sorry. I was totally missing out because this book is outstanding! Mira is a six-century nightwalker (vampire) who has the gift of conjuring and controlling fire with her mind. She is being hunted by creatures of a parallel world, called the Naturi. They believe she is an important element in opening the gate between the worlds. Incidentally, she is also being tracked by the vampire-hunter Danaus. Danaus and Mira are mortal enemies and begrudgingly team-up to try and defeat the Naturi before it¿s too late. This book doesn¿t have a moment to waste and has one exciting adventure after another. I am biting my nails in anticipation for the next installment Dayhunter. My favorite authors and books are Kim Harrison-Rachel Morgan series, Jenna Black-Morgan Kingsley series what an innovative concept, Ilona Andrews- Kate Daniels series this character is tough tough tough, Caitlin Kittredge- love her Noctune City series, Rachel Caine- Weather Warden series, Larissa Ione- Demonica series, Richelle Mead- Georgina Kinkaid series and Dark Swan Series, Audra and Stella Price- Eververse series, Yasmine Galenorn- Sisters of the Moon series, Vicki Pettersson- Zodiac series Jackie Keller- Hell on Earth series, T.A. Pratt- Marla Mason series Mark Henry- Happy Hour of the Damned

    Really? Did we read the same book?

    I picked this book up because Kim Harrison, who I love, recommended this book as a new author. I am always looking for good books, especialy vampire. I probably have over 200 books that are vampire series either I own, have read, lent out (you get my point). I know a good story when I read it and this isn't it. It starts out ok, but really, the main characture's name Danuas? I get that these evil creatures want to take over and I get that the main female lead is the only person that can save us, and I wanted to really like it, I tried super hard to like it and I just could NOT. It is just all over the place. Do the two main charactures in the story hate each other?? I thought she was revolting to him? Didn't he kill 4 vampire because...well I am not sure why. If the really old vampires are so smart and strong, how did they not know these naturi had a get out of jail card? And that is just the start to some of the major plot flaws I saw. If you are going to write about vampires, you better make sure they are either strong and beautiful or flawed and yearning for their soul. The author might have wanted to read a Laurel K Hamilton book and see how you can write vampire, or even old Anne Rice. The Vampire Lestat still holds true even after all this time. You might not agree with my review or you might agree with it, but save your $9.00 and buy another book.

    Booker

    Kudos to Jocelynn Drake. Continueous action with a strong lead character that faces problems head on with out turning girly. Like the fact that possible romance is a slow progression, and its not the main focal point.

    Really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one.

    Fantastic action and story with strong female protagonist

    Nightwalker was originally published in 2008, and I am very happy that there are several more books in the series, because this was a great read. The heroine/protagonist is Mira, a 600 year old vampire who is unique among humans and vampires because she can start and control fire. Mira is living in Savannah as Keeper of the City, a position she enjoys for the relative peace after centuries of politics and power struggles among the Ancients in the Old World. But the vampire hunter Danaus has arrived, and Mira's confrontations with him prove to be enigmatic - he is not all that he appears to be and she spares his life in the hope of learning more about him and the organization he works for. Soon someone from the most horrific nightmare of Mira's past turns up as well, and her hard won sanity and peaceful life are shattered as she travels to Egypt and London in an attempt to find the Ancients of her race and prevent a bloody battle that will destroy humannity.

    Mira was a fantastic character - she is the strong, alpha, dominant one in the story, and is both respected and feared. Beautiful and honorable, she inspires awe and is a legend among her kind. Her battle skills are matched by Danaus, who becomes an unlikely ally (and potential romantic interest) as Mira learns her life as a human and vampire may not be what they seem. Reading a story driven by a strong, sexual, capable female is a nice change of pace, and seems to be more common in the urban fantasy genre. (I'm thinking of Kelley Armstrong's super Women of the Otherworld series specifically.)

    I can't wait to read the rest of this series! Nightwalker ended with a heck of a cliffhanger and I am hooked.

    quick read

    Mira was happy controlling her domain and minding her own business never thinking about the horrors of the past. But when a handsome hunter blows into town her comes crashing back into her with a vengeance. The vile creatures that once had kidnapped her and tortured her are back and out for her head. Now she needs to leave and find her mentor and kill any nature, the evil Faye like creatures, are out to capture and try to kill her as they did in the past. Her only help in this quest is a hunter who she still not sure if she can trust and two human companions she uses as bodyguards during the day light hours wail she is sleeping. But if she fails it will not just be her life and the life of those in her domain that will be at the risk it will be all the lives of human and Nightwalker alike.

    This book had a slow start for me there was a bit too much description of surroundings at times. But half way through the book, it finally caught my interest. I liked the sexual tension that the hunter Danaus and Mira had I'd like to see them get together they have like a love hate relationship that I liked. But he always had her back when she needed him. I also need to know what exactly Danaus is, it just left me baffled. I'm still not sure how I feel about Jabari he seems to care for Mira but to what extent? Just to use her as everyone else does? Or if she becomes too much of a threat to him will he eliminate her? I will continue this series because I have to see what happens.

    Action Scenes and nothing else...

    I had high hopes for this series, it's hard to find a good supernatural type series. I read all the reviews and thought i'd give them a try. I'm still undecided whether or not i like them. The entire book is nothing but fight scenes, no humor, no romance, just fighting all the time and always serious, it got kinda boring reading about the same thing all the time. I'm not sure whether i like the characters or not. The problem they face is interesting but thats about it. I'm still going to read the rest of the series in hopes that at some point there will be a lighter mood mixed in with the action,if anything rent them from a library instead of buying them like i did.
