Who are the Shadow Guards?
The Shadow Guards are a mysterious order of immortals tasked with intervening, as necessary, in the lives and deaths of mortals. Archer, Lord Black, the hero of NIGHT FALLS DARKLY, is a Reclaimer, and is charged with hunting down and eliminating the most morally deteriorated, wicked souls of the earth’s population. Reclaimers are known for their ruthlessness, and even other immortals fear them. Only an immortal can slay an immortal, and it is the Reclaimers who, at times, are dispatched by the Primordial Council to act as assassins. Over the centuries they have aligned themselves, when necessary, with mortal kings and leaders. Some have been awarded titles and estates, and they enjoy the privacy and comfort wealth can bring. Archer is a particular favorite of Queen Victoria.
