Publisher Description
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...
Customer Reviews
You have to listen to this!
What a story. This is another JR Ward masterpiece. As with Black Dagger Brotherhood books, there are numerous storylines being addressed at
Any one time, but the main story of this book is that of Lassiter, the fallen angel who has taken on the responsibilities of the Scribe Virgin, and Rahvyn, Sahvage’s cousin who appeared during the last book in this series. At the end of the last book, it appears that their love story would never be told as both Lassiter and Rahvyn part forever. However circumstances arise in this novel that bring the two of them back together. The reader gets to know Lassiter in a completely different way than he has been portrayed during this series. In a separate storyline from last book, the demon Davina had completed a spell to conjure up someone to love her, and she brings Lash, son of the Omega, back from Dunnit. Unfortunately, he begins to initiate new members of the Lessening Society and suddenly the war is back on again. This story is pretty emotional with some exhilarating highs and devastating lows. JR Ward is extremely skilled at crafting a complex story, weaving various threads through each novel that all come together by the conclusion. As usual, I was consumed by this audiobook from beginning to end. I was completely unprepared for the turn the story takes at the end. Jim Frangione did an amazing job, as usual, of bringing the story and each individual character to life. I definitely recommend this audiobook to fans of the series and the entire series to readers who have not read it before. I believe it is one of the those highly original stand-out series that shouldn’t be missed.
Blown away as always
This was really amazing to listen to. I wasn’t expecting the twist that came in the end, but I was so relieved at the epilogue. I won’t spoil anyone, who hasn’t read yet, and is looking through the reviews right now to see wether or not they want to give it a listen, but I will tell you that those who want to give it a try, prepare yourselves, you will laugh, you may cry, but never the less, just sit back, put on your headphones and enjoy the ride.
On a side note, I really hope there will be more to come in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. But until then, I’m happy to have listen to this.
The Warden SLAYED this!
I screamed and yelled throughout! Not going say anymore other than if you’re a BDB reader, you’re GOING TO REGRET NOT reading/listening to this!
Entire time I was either praising or cursing the Warden for giving me this story of Lassiter and Raven and bee-oytch slapping me with a massive crossroads in the BDB universe.
Jim Frangione, you ARE part of the BDB. Thank you for the amazing narration - you better be in the BDB movie!
It’s almost 2 am, going to try to sleep. Tomorrow I will re listen again!
