Wow!  Claire Ashgrove has delivered another outstanding book/novella in the Curse Of The Templars Series.  This is one of the most gripping paranormal series I have read.The Immortal Protector is a novella based on what happens in the first chapter of book 2 in the series, Immortal Surrender.  Ian Donnelly has lost his faith and is now at the point where he wonders if he should continue to fight for the almighty cause or just to surrender to the darkness.  He knows there is no longer any hope for healing the darkness in his soul and knows it is only a matter of time before the darkness completely consumes him.  He begins to question the quest he and his brother Templar's have been eternally burdened with.  Why would the almighty curse them to the point where there is a slim chance that their souls will be healed?  They have been strong, faithful, warriors and servents for the almighty.  They have accepted the punishment & curse for the trespass centuries ago.  After all they were only men and it is human to err.  The almighty is suppose to forgive them for their trespasses.Because of his doubts and loss of hope, he is sent on a sabatical to find his faith.  He is sent to the Templar stronghold in the United States.  While there he witnesses a car accident and meets Catherine Grady.  Catherine is unlike any woman he has ever met and when he is with her his soul & self worth feel at peace.  Catherine has devoted herself to following a path of higher dedication to her faith.  Meeting Ian changes her path.  Now that they both have found each other , is there a higher purpose for them, is there hope for happiness and peace, or are they eternally doomed to never experience their love for one another.This novella was fantastic.  Although novella's are shorter stories and usually just skim the ongoing plot of the series, this one does not.  It packs a powerful punch and lets the reader see into the deeper psych of these Templar's who have been cursed.  It also throws a few more twist into the Templar's eternal battle.I highly recommend this series!
