Never before has the past been so important! In Realm of Darkness, the fourth volume in The Secret of the Journal series by C.F. Dunn, Emma and Matthew are forced to confront a very real threat. In spite of overcoming earlier obstacles to finally become man and wife, the very inquisitiveness that brought Emma to Matthew now has the potential to bring his secret to light and ruin the life they have just begun together. Emma has survived so much, but the path before her is not going to be easy. Hostility from some family members and the arrogance of her superior at the college may prove to be her undoing. On top of that, a part of her life with which she thought she had made peace makes a return with sinister consequences. Will Emma be strong enough to forgive herself, accept Matthew’s love unconditionally, and do what is necessary to keep the incredible secret he has been hiding for over 400 years?
Beautifully written with tremendous detail, emotion and intrigue, Realm of Darkness is a novel well worth reading. Even though this is the fourth volume in The Secret of the Journal series by C.F. Dunn, the brilliant introduction provides enough information about ‘The Story So Far’ so that you can get into the action with enough understanding to truly appreciate the intrigue. From the first page, you are drawn into the lives of these unique characters and, with the last page, you are glad that there is more to come. Wow! I really enjoyed this book and would like to go back and read the previous volumes.
