“Embracing the Darkness” is the second installment in Cassie Sanchez’s “Darkness” Trilogy. Following the events of the first book, Commander Jasce Farone is striving to atone for the wrongs he dealt as Azrael, the Angel of Death. Now, as commander of the Paladin Guard, he is working to build up a formidable fighting force consisting of both Spectrals and Normals, and to eradicate the previous prejudices Drexus and those like him harbored against those with magic. His quest to find his sister, Jaida, and plans to marry his fiancée, Kenz, will have to be put on hold, however, when new threats and old enemies surface. Aside from the outside turmoil, Jasce is also struggling to combat the internal desires and emotions of Azrael, who still lurks deep inside him. To save the kingdom and people he loves, will Jasce be able to combat the darkness and keep Azrael at bay? Or will he need to succumb to the ruthless killer he once was?
