Shadowlight — Lynn Viehl

New York Times bestselling author Lynn Viehl has enthralled readers with her novels of the immortal Darkyn. Now she reveals the secret progeny of the Darkyn: the Kyndred, ordinary people unaware they've been altered by vampire DNA but destined to become the next generation of heroes.

With just one touch, Jessa Bellamy can see anyone's darkest secrets, thanks to whoever tampered with her genes. What she doesn't know is that a biotech company called GenHance has discovered her talent, and intends to kill her and harvest her priceless DNA. When GenHance is poised to strike, Gaven Matthias is forced to take action. After months of tracking Jessa, he abducts her himself so he can protect her in his underground fortress. Matthias tries to explain what she is and how she can protect others like her, but Jessa has a hard time believing the one man whose secrets she can't read. She senses he's hiding a terrible truth, and yet his touch ignites a passion she's never known. As a monstrous assassin closes in and forces them on the run, Jessa will have to find another way to discover whether Matthias is her greatest ally...or her deadliest enemy.
