My first full length novel for Silhouette Nocturne will feature a nymph of the underworld. The ancient Greeks called them lampades, the Romans called them Nymphae Avernales, but we would probably more properly think of them as  dark angels.

Part of their mythology is that they were torchbearers of Hekate–the enlightening flames they carried could show mortals a path to redemption, but the light was so potent that it could also drive men mad. Given my heroine’s quest to save a an otherwise good man from a dark path he’s chosen for his life, I’ve been creating a bit of a soundtrack and I thought I’d share it with my readers:
