Publisher Description
Silence has fallen. The Psy are free to feel emotion. Free to love. But Silence was never a prison for Ivan Mercant.
The biggest threat to his future lies dormant in his brain - a psychic monster that wants only to feed. And now, the brutal leash he's kept on that monster is slipping. He prepared for this day, for the end of Ivan Mercant . . . but that was before he met Lei.
As primal as she is human, this wild changeling brings colour into his life, laughter to his soul. Then the dream shatters in a rain of blood, in silent bodies in the snow. Lei is gone. Vanished without a trace . . . until Ivan meets strangely familiar eyes across a busy San Francisco street.
Soleil Bijoux Garcia is a healer who has lost everything. She exists in a world of desolate aloneness . . . until the day she finds herself face-to-face with a lethal stranger. The animal who is her other half knows this man, but her memories are tattered fragments. Sorrow and a need for vengeance are all that drive her. Her mission? To kill the alpha of the DarkRiver leopard pack.
But fate has other plans. Soon, a deadly soldier who believes himself a monster and a broken healer might be all that stand between life and death for the entire Psy race. . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Singh's immersive sixth Psy-Changeling Trinity romance (after Last Guard), a telepathic Psy struggling with a literal inner demon meets a shape-shifting Changeling woman who shows him his future's not as bleak as he believes. When Ivan Mercant is injured at a training course for fellow Psy, it's Soleil Bijoux Garcia, a Changeling who can shape-shift into an ocelot, who patches him up. The pair quickly fall in love and Ivan opens up, confessing that there's a monster living inside his mind. Though Soleil assures him that they'll handle it together, she disappears the next day, leaving Ivan convinced he scared her off—until they cross paths several months later and Soleil has no idea who he is. She's confused as to why her inner ocelot responds so strongly to this stranger, longing to mark him as hers. Ivan works to understand what happened to Soleil and help her to recover, while Soleil teaches him that his life is worth fighting for—and shows him that the darkness in his mind may be able to fix the crumbling PsyNet. Singh's worldbuilding is elaborate as ever, and she brings all the romance, family dynamics, and intrigue her readers crave. Series fans will find this un-put-downable.

Brilliant story
As per usual Nahlini has written another test episode in this series!! Can’t wait for the next one.
Excellent!!!
This book is a Nalini Singh work at its best.
The Psy network is at breaking point. The Architect and her army of Scarabs have been busy weakening every bond and anchor point that the Trinity Network have put in place. Now the Architect is ready to make her move, come out as the Scarab Queen and actively seize power. What she hasn’t counted on, is someone like Ivan Mercant, a very unusual Psy, his brain damaged before birth by the drugs, his pregnant, addict mother took and further altered when given more drugs as a toddler and small child. Ivan believes he is on verge of self destructing when he meets Lei, a changeling healer who is fiercely protective and marks him as her own. When disaster separated them, Ivan searched for his Lei, not realising that she had forgotten him but was also searching with a strong need, for a bond of belonging.
Every time Nalini writes, I fall in love again
I love love loved this book. Nalini has the wonderful ability to weave incredibly complex and unique characters, while still making them completely relatable to the reader. I laughed, I cried and I loved over the course of this stunning book. As always, Nalini’s world building is fantastic - so very immersive and realistic, no matter that the story is set in a paranormal world. Some major questions in the overall story arc are finally answered, but of course, there is still so much more to come - bring on the next in the series!
