Enter cousins Ben and Chase Kincaid, hereditary Templar Knights sworn to battle the hidden evils of the world. With their guardian angel Ashriel at their side, they embark on a perilous quest to break the monstrous curse chaining Emma to a horrific fate -- before time runs out.

As dangers mount, Chase finds himself drawn to the mysterious, courageous woman he has sworn to protect. But the closer they become, the more he fears that his tarnished past could rear its ugly head and devour them both.

"What a fascinating story it is! In her debut novel, Avalon O'Clair demonstrates great skill and imagination... the keen dialogue throughout the story is remarkable and realistic. In short, Knights of Orion Citadel - Illusion of Safety is a resounding success that will ultimately challenge the notoriety of several bestselling novels in the Urban Fantasy categories." -- Lex Allen.

"Avalon O'Clair has created a story full of vivid detail. The character development is exceptional. I have nothing negative to say about this suspenseful fantasy story. The plot is unpredictable with the multiple twists; however, the storyline is easy to follow. The ending of the book leaves an opening for a sequel that I am eager to read. The book is professionally edited, and the story kept me fully engaged."

Illusion of Safety is a thrilling ride from start to finish. It's a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, with its fast-paced action, intriguing mythology, and a touch of romance. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys urban fantasy, paranormal romance, or action-packed adventures.
