  "Rowe is a paranormal star!" ~ J.R. Ward
  Cursed to die for a choice his ancestor made, Ian Fitzgerald has spent six hundred years fighting the curse and trying to restore honor to his family's name. But his time to die has finally come, and his doom is in the guise of the one woman he cannot walk away from: his soul mate. Or is she really who she seems?
  Light and darkness, shadows and death, reality and illusions swirl around Ian as the curse hauls him relentlessly toward his own demise. Desperate to survive, Ian fights ruthlessly to uncover the truth about the sensual, desperate female who has died in his arms already…twice.
  Can she save him, or will she be the final key to the destruction of everything he has fought to protect?
  "Stephanie Rowe has done it again.  The Order Of The Blade series is one of the best urban fantasy/paranormal series I have read. Ian's story held me riveted from page one.  It is sure to delight all her fans. Keep them coming!" ~Alexx Mom Cat's Gateway Book Blog
  Author's note: Forever in Darkness is a tantalizing looksee into the events occuring between novels, putting into play the events necessary to launch Ian's story in his full-length novel, DARKNESS ARISEN.
