The Darkness
Book Description
Artemisia, a scientist who also practices alchemy, is wealthy beyond imagination. She is one of the founding members of the Skyward Group, a privately funded, secret, research facility conducting experiments that erase what tradition has established as the boundaries separating the realm of man from the realm of God. Artemisia has everything she wants - money, fame, knowledge and power - except for a child. Inanna is a powerful and dangerous witch, also wealthy beyond imagination. Her powers are greater and more deadly than any in the long tradition before her. Inanna has everything she wants - money, knowledge and God-like power - except for a child. The Child has nothing. At three months of age, he knows only what he has experienced through the bars of his locked cage. He has nothing. He doesn't have a mommy. He doesn't have a daddy. He doesn't have a name. The scientists who created him do not handle him, because they know The Child is dangerous. In The Darkness, Two women clash in a vicious battle that has been fought since the days of King Solomon - the fight over a child. One woman unleashes the nightmarish arsenal of modern science while the other dispatches the weaponries of witchcraft. And as The Child grows up, his love for one and resentment for the other will change the fate of both these women, forever.
Book Review
Crystal Connor did a great job creating exceptional characters. They felt like they were living and breathing right alongside of me.
The story was mesmerizing! Once I started reading this book, I did not want to put it down at all.
One of the things I liked was that whether you look at the story from the perspective of Artemisia or Inanna, they are both equally good and evil. They were both out to get what they wanted for their own reasons.
The story had tons of great plot twists that helped to keep me interested.
This is definitely a book you will not want to miss out on reading.
