Publisher Description
Enter the world of the Others in the first novel in New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop’s thrilling fantasy series: a place where unearthly entities—vampires and shape-shifters among them—rule the Earth and prey on the human race.
As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others.
Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.
Customer Reviews
Innocent Ambassador
A story involving many characters isolated by fear, loneliness & greed. Meg's innocence brings out the best & worst in the other characters as some strive to let go of their fear & loneliness, while others just see an opportunity for profit.
An excellent second read as many throw away sentences take on new meaning after the reader knows of the secrets revealed during the climax & epilogue.
Fantastic read
So many emotions. Great character building, great story line. I will need more than just two books in this series!
Very enjoyable.
Wow! A great story as usual. So imaginative and fun to read. A book that has just enough description so as not to be tedious and all the action and empathy for the character that you could want. A great read.
