A legacy is realized and a prophecy unfolds.

In the wake of the death of her parents, Kara Tanner must get on with life. But trying to keep her promises to them only keeps the pair in her thoughts. Her only respite is her new art studio and the antique mirror she finds there. As she sketches its distorted reflections, a handsome face slowly takes form—one that quickly captivates her.

In the great keepe of the House of Hawks, Blade Lord Jacyn hears whispers of war. But as he broods, it is what he sees that troubles him. A lovely, weeping woman has appeared in his darksilver. As suspicion finally gives way to obsession, he must act to bring her to him or see her perish.

But as passion erupts, a traitorous foe sees his chance and centuries of peace teeters on the brink.

About the author

Hazel Hunter

143 books478 followers
Hazel and her husband stopped being separate people years ago. They live their happy life in the always crowded, mostly sunny, and sometimes sweltering city of LA. Though they haven’t managed it yet, plans are afoot to add a kitty to the household, thereby giving the allergist fits.

Hazel has been writing full-time for several years, with some traditionally published work in other genres. But it’s her indie-published romance that fuels the creative fire. It turns out writing isn’t a job, it’s an obsession.

When you can pry Hazel’s fingers from the laptop, you’ll find her: on the elliptical watching a documentary, indulging her audiobook habit, or spending quality time with Candy Crush. Although she’s vegan, she’s a disaster in the kitchen. Luckily, potato chips and pinot noir come ready-made.

Jacyn and Kara❤️

Even though Jacyn’s story is a novella, it gives one enough of a glimpse to see what’s coming and I’m super excited to see where we go next😍

Kara Tanner has just moved to Boston. She is keeping a promise to her recently murdered parents. Kara has possession of a family book that just may bring to life a prophecy she doesn’t believe in. Jacyn who is leader House of Hawks has been trying to keep his people safe. He isn’t happy with the curse that has been a part of his life for decades. Jacyn must try to forget the beautiful woman who he sees through the mirror. Kara is about to realize that the prophecy is true as she talks to someone on the other side of an antique mirror. These two just may need each other to survive what is coming. Kara can’t stop thinking about the man on the other side of the mirror named Jacyn.

Jacyn is the prequel story of the new series by Hazel Hunter called Darksilver. A prophecy and old book put a woman in danger. A different earth at another stage of growth must protect a woman who catches his attention through an antique magical mirror. These two will have to work together to try and keep evil from spending between worlds. Jacyn has suspense, danger, magic and attraction. A story of a long-held prophecy that begins the rest of the stories to come. Hazel Hunter puts a unique spin on travelling from one world to another. People from different worlds just may find true love even though they’re from different worlds. Hazel Hunter’s newest series Darksilver prequel book Jacyn is a wonderful way to start her newest series. An unique couple who set up the continuation of the series. A great new way for new readers to become into this author’s unusual worlds and for fans to take another trip through time and space as only Hazel Hunter can take you. This reader and fan can’t wait to find out what is next in this wonderful series and what is next from Hazel Hunter’s imagination.

Intriguing prequel to what looks to be a great series. Ms Hunter has built some fantastic Worlds throughout her previous books and this one should be just as complicated. Kara and Jacyn take the reader on a journey of discovery. I couldn’t put the book down.

Hazel Hunter does it again! Jacyn is the prequel to her new Darksilver series.

This book is a quick read at 96 pages. It sets up the worlds, the mysteries, and fleshes out several of the characters. Jacyn provides an intriguing start to explaining the Blade Lords and how they came into immortal existence. Kara represents the human side of the Darksiver. She intends to fulfill her destiny as explained by her parents no matter the cost.

The vampiric aspect doesn’t strike me as the main focus in this opening book. I am much more intrigued by the separate worlds, the mystery prisoner, and I’m surely going to be horrified (in a good way) by the villain.

There is some “heat” in the tale. It’s not over-the-top, but should enhance the story for lovers of the sexy vampire while being easy to skim for those that don’t enjoy that level of description.

As always in a Hazel Hunter book, the pace is gripping, the words flawlessly written, and concept is dark and delicious!

Bring on Arne and book one!

A short story but an excellent start and peek at a new world. It does give you a bit of the back story. So you don't have to wounder, what? Jacyn finds hope and sorrow. I enjoyed it very much. Can't wait to see the next story.

Good Start

An interesting dark vampire romance tale. Kara and Jacyn meet via a portal referred to as Darksilver. When any of his kind pass through to earth they turn into their vampires self. This tale will give you a foothold into the adventure of this series.

joining between 2 worlds

Good read. The plot is easy to follow and a bit predicable. Sexual content so this book would be for young adults plus.
