Kaleb: smoldering ice


Kaleb is…well, wickedly unpredictable! Singh introduces Kaleb in Visions of Heat (Book 2), and throughout the series, she inexorably builds the suspense…the mystery of Kaleb… deadly, dangerous, devastating… Oh Wait! With Kaleb, what you see is NOT what you get…



Heart of Obsidian
(Psy/Changeling #12)
by Nalini Singh

Not a standalone!









Kaleb…"the most dangerous man on the planet” 
Cryptic, complicated, complex, 
captivating…

His story aptly named, 
he IS black ice
Cold. 
Ruthless. 
Lethal. 
Emotionless.
a monster? 

obsidian… shields…
he constructs and employs for His survival, 
and control…
a dual cardinal of immense power; 
his mind, his thoughts create destruction, chaos…
the potential to 
Destroy…Everything! 

the mystery of Kaleb…

veiled within the shadows…he 
watches
waits
strategizes

methodically 
places each piece
to create…his intricate design

perfect manipulation…
hidden agendas… 


He survived…Enrique’s

horror
savagery, 
brutality
torture… 

In turn…Kaleb 
brutalizes, maims…kills..
his adversaries

Enrique’s protege…Kaleb 
cares about Nothing
No one…
except for
Sahara…HIS

Promises…haunt him

Broken vows
made in the past… 
to protect…Sahara…
motivates his thirst for vengeance…  
rationalizes his behavior, 
his quest for redemption

forces him to abide… 
in the abyss, the darkness



 His Sahara…
Can she survive her fractured memories…

the horror
the battle she fought
to keep her mind
from
slipping…deeper
into the darkness
into madness…

she… created a shield
her mental labyrinth…
her protection 
from the 
monsters…the twisted psychopaths…
of the night

She recalls
slowly, piece by piece,
their friendship, 
their bond, 
their love for each other…


Sahara remembers…the abused boy, 
terrorized, broken, isolated, intelligent, courageous…
her protector

helpless; yet, steeled with determination, 
she commits to Him…
makes promises of her own…
to keep Kaleb safe, 
away 
from the impending, enticing darkness…
away from the pull…the echoes of the madman…

with her tenderness 
she shares 
her light, 
her life, 
her love…
“I will continue to fight to pull you into the light”.

Together
they fight
the Pure Psy…the pernicious enemy…
they fight
for the innocent
they fight 
to create, to awaken a new dawn…the emergence
of an independent Psy


Kaleb and Sahara…

Am I so important to you?”
“Yes,” he said. “You’re everything.” The entire reason for his existence. 


Overall, a wonderful impassioned love story!
