About this ebook
FROM WARRIOR AND LOVER TO ENEMY AND BETRAYER, THE TERRIBLE SECRETS OF KALONA'S PAST ARE REVEALED He was laughing with her as he spread his wings and lifted her from the ground, twirling her.
Nyx gasped and clutched his neck. Kalona tightened his arms around her.
"Trust me, Goddess. I would never let you fall."
From the Sun and from the Moon, two winged brothers are born: golden Erebus, playmate and friend, and mysterious Kalona, Warrior and lover, companions of the Goddess Nyx.
From the first, Nyx loves them both deeply, but differently. With Erebus, she can talk and laugh and dance, and take joy in the games he plays among the humans of the Earth. With Kalona, the fire in her body burns bright, and she can rest in the solace of his strength and protection. But for Kalona, Nyx's nights are not enough. Every second he is not with her he is filled with doubt and longing, and every time he fails to please her, he cannot forgive himself. Ruled by anger and jealousy of his brother, and consumed by his love for his Goddess, Kalona seeks the power to prove his worth, and to claim once and for all that Nyx eternally belongs to him.
And at the edges of the Earth, a Darkness is stirring, waiting for its chance, for the doorway in through a heart that it knows will welcome it…

Reviews for Kalona's Fall
44 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of the better books in this series.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This latest House of Night novella tells the history/past of Kalona. I enjoyed this one. I actually like these novellas more than the full length novels. Kalona isn't my favorite character, but he is a character that is surrounded in mystery, it was intriguing to see his past unfold. Definitely don't miss this one, especially if you've been with the series since the beginning.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I liked Kalona's book in the HON Novellas. I liked seeing how the goddess behaves and interacted with Kalona and Erebus prior to all that went wrong. I loved learning the tale of how the vampyres came to be and Mother Earth's part in it all. It also makes you feel a little more sympathetic toward Kalona than if you've just read the HON books and not the novellas. Well done from the Cast girls.
