Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Sinner brings another hot adventure of true love and ultimate sacrifice in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world.
The location of the glymera’s notorious prison camp was lost after the raids. When a freak accident provides Nyx clues to where her sister may still be doing time, she becomes determined to find the secret subterranean labyrinth. Embarking on a journey under the earth, she learns a terrible truth—and meets a male who changes everything, forever.
The Jackal has been in the camp for so long he cannot recall anything of the freedom he once knew. Trapped by circumstances out of his control, he helps Nyx because he cannot help himself. After she discovers what happened to her sister, getting her back out becomes a deadly mission for them both.
United by a passion they can’t deny, they work together on an escape plan for Nyx—even though their destiny is to be forever apart. And as the Black Dagger Brotherhood is called upon for help, and Rhage discovers he has a half-brother who’s falsely imprisoned, a devious warden plots the deaths of them all…even the Brothers.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ward spins off her long-running Black Dagger universe in this first Black Dagger Brotherhood: Prison Camp paranormal romance, a sultry dive into the depths of the glymera's prison system. Fifty years ago, the glymera, vampire aristocracy, condemned Nyx's sister Janelle to a top-secret, underground prison for a crime she did not commit, leaving Nyx determined to free her. After she finds the entrance to the prison camp, she quickly gets in over her head while trying to navigate its labyrinthine halls and avoid its brutal guards until she meets the Jackal, a handsome fighter who's been imprisoned for over a century. Against his better judgment, the Jackal's drawn to the quarrelsome, alluring Nyx and agrees to help her. When their plan to find Janelle goes horribly awry, Nyx is trapped underground and forced to fight for her freedom and freedom for the man she's grown to love. Though newcomers to the universe may find it difficult to keep up with its many supernatural rules, an extensive glossary helps make sense of things, and the fiery repartee between the couple keeps the pages turning. This spicy new chapter is sure to delight Ward's longtime fans.
Customer Reviews
Jackal
A great read! I recommend this book.
Meh..
Slow to start. The set up of characters seemed unending as chapters of flashbacks gave information that wasn’t really significant. I actually almost quit reading it. At about page 130 the story finally started rolling. It’s good, however the ending leaves one wanting better.
