Cover Reveal and Release Date: Dark Skye by Kresley Cole

I've just recently discovered paranormal romance...and who hasn't heard of Kresley Cole's Immortal After Dark series? Of course, lots of non-romance reading peeps, but then they're missing a lot. (Just sayin'.)

One of the stories I've been waiting for is the one between Lanthe, a Sorceri—she of the once powerful goddess, and Thronos, a Vrekener...who happens to be her he'll-absolutely-off-me-when-he-sees-me enemy.

We hear of them—and something of their back story—in Kiss of a Demon King, the seventh installment in Sabine and Rydstrom's love story. (Sabine, the Queen of Illusions sorceress, is Lanthe's sister.) And from that time on, I've been seeing flashes of them.
Enough to whet my ever-lovin' appetite!

Now, finally, Ms. Cole has deigned to announce the release date.

And it's going to be released on... (drum roll please!)

August 5, 2014

Awww...that's about SEVEN months away!

I can't wait that long!

Arggh!

But I'll have to be content with the cover reveal. It's absolutely, fantabulously GORGEOUS!

And here's the blurb for Dark Skye:

Eternal Obsession

As a boy, Thronos, Lord of Skye Hall, loved Lanthe, a mischievous Sorceri girl who made him question everything about his Vrekener clan. But when the two got caught in the middle of their families’ war, tragedy struck, leaving Thronos and Lanthe bitter enemies. Though centuries have passed, nothing can cool his seething need for the beautiful enchantress who scarred his body—and left an even deeper impression on his soul.

Endless Yearning

Lanthe, a once-formidable sorceress struggling to reclaim her gifts, searches for love and acceptance with all the wrong immortal suitors. But she’s never forgotten Thronos, the magnificent silver-eyed boy who protected her until she was ripped from the shelter of his arms. One harrowing night changed everything between them. Now he’s a notorious warlord with a blood vendetta against Lanthe, hunting her relentlessly.

Can the heat of desire burn brighter than vengeance?

With their families locked in conflict and battles raging all around them, will Thronos and Lanthe succumb to the brutal chaos that threatens everything they cherish? Or will the fragile bond they formed so long ago spark a passion strong enough to withstand even the darkest doubts?

Lanthe and Thronos' story is shaping up to be a twisty version of Romeo and Juliet—kill him/her first or be killed by him/her. Of course, Dark Skye is a romance so I don't believe they'll literally off each other. Maybe with some hot/sweet/kick-ass lovin'. ;)

Sheesh, August is so far away. (And to think I turn 43 a few days after the release of Dark Skye!)
