The next book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward follows a fallen angel who finds love with a mysterious female--who could be his destiny...or the embodiment of his utter destruction. Lassiter, the fallen angel, is a little 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 Lassiter has a reason to stay in Caldwell. He´s bonded with a mysterious female named Rahvyn who seemed to appear from out of nowhere...and has powers that defy all reason. Rahvyn understands she doesn´t belong in the present--her true place is in the past. Lassiter proves to be undeniable, however, and she lets herself fall for him--until a secret he´s been keeping comes to light and she fears that for the angel, 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 must decide whether to stay and help--or save herself from an immortal heartbreak she knows will crush her very soul.
