The Darkyn series takes the vampire myth in a specific historical direction: its vampire race, the Darkyn, originated among the Knights Templar during the Crusades. That backstory gives the series a darker, more grounded foundation than a lot of paranormal romance, mixing conspiracy and church politics with the genre’s expected romance.
The series ran for ten books, starting with If Angels Burn in 2005. Lynn Viehl also launched several spinoff series in the same world, including Kyndred and Lords of the Darkyn, for readers who want more after finishing the main sequence.
