Summary

Destiny, duty, and desire clash in this epic new novel in J.R. Ward's #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.Lassiter, the fallen angel, is too good at the savior business. In his new role overseeing the fates of all vampires, he's influenced outcomes he shouldn't have—so the Creator is calling him home. But the angel has a reason to stay in Caldwell. He's bonded with a mysterious female who seemed to appear from out of nowhere...and has powers that defy all reason. Rahvyn is well aware that she doesn't belong in the present. And she never intended to stay, for her true place is in the past. Lassiter proves to be undeniable, however, and she lets herself fall for the angel—until a secret he's been keeping comes out and she fears that for him, it's not about love, but duty. As the Omega's son reestablishes the Lessening Society, and the Brotherhood must resume the deadly war, an unfathomable tragedy occurs. In the aftermath, Rahvyn has to decide whether to stay and help—or save herself from an immortal heartbreak she knows will crush her very soul...

Booklist Review: "Lassiter, the black-and-blond-haired, Golden Girls-loving fallen angel, feels like damaged goods since the demon Davinia assaulted him, so he's willing to love Rahvyn from afar. But when two fellow angels, Eddie and Adrian, show up to take him to see the Creator to account for all the meddling he's done in the lives of the vampires, he knows his time is short, so he opens his heart. But Rahvyn is no ordinary vampire. She has extraordinary powers, evident when she saves George, the guide dog of the Blind King Wrath. Meanwhile, the Lessening Society is back or attempting to come back, and the Black Dagger Brotherhood jumps into the fray. Ward's latest in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series (after Lover Arisen, 2022) has it all--danger, sex, violent action, swoon-worthy romance, and an ending that will leave readers reeling. Seriously. Newbies will want to start at the beginning (Dark Lover, 2005), but series fans will love Lassiter's long-anticipated story that tempers its broody darkness with odd moments of humor, as befits the character."
