Keeper Of Light And Dust by Natasha Mostert

By Joe Moore |
keeper-of-light-dust.jpgMia Lockhart has a secret. Her mother was a Keeper, as was her grandmother -- women who were warriors, healers and protectors. When a mysterious man enters her life, she is put to the test. Adrian Ashton is a brilliant scientist -- and a killer. With the aid of an ancient martial arts text he has mastered the art of capturing the chi of his opponents -- the vital energy that flows through their bodies. When he targets the man Mia loves, it becomes a fight to the death in which love is both the greatest weakness and the greatest prize.

"Original and daring...a tale as sizzling as it is sultry." --  Jon Land in The Providence Journal

"Sstunning...Mostert has delivered another knock-out treat" -- Daily Mail (London)
