Humans are not alone on earth. Majerians share the planet. The species lives for thousands of years and act as protectors of the humans. Centuries ago Trayjon lent his guardian talisman to his best friend Dante, who abused the powerful device. This misuse led to the death of the parents of Trayjon's betrothed. Unable to face what his neglect caused, Trayjon fled without speaking with his future wife, the preadolescent and future guardian Arianna. Over the years he watched her grow up from a distance and yearned to hear her say she forgives and loves him. Arianna lives among the humans working as a guardian while running a medical clinic. Don, a Majerian, begins to court Arianna. She remains hesitant because she feels his darker nature beneath his handsome smiling visage. At the same time she senses Trey and actually confronts him in a friendly manner. As Trey and Arianna begin to fulfill their destiny as soul mates, Don, who is actually Dante, escaped from the void through the aid of a demon Gulil, plans to steal both their guardian talismans. EYES OF THE JACKAL is an excellent romantic fantasy that makes the possibility of another humanoid race living amidst Homo sapiens seem plausible. The story line provides insight into a different culture within our own and the tale also contains plenty of action and two strong lead characters. Fans of speculative romance and fantasy will delight in Joni Latham's powerful tale and want more novels starring the Majerians. |
