Return to New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s sensual and painfully beautiful Guild Hunter world in her new novel of sacrifice, loyalty, and the choices of love that can shatter the heart.

In the wake of a brutal war, the archangel Raphael and his hunter consort, Elena, are dealing with the treacherously shifting tides of archangelic politics and the people of a battered but not broken city. The last thing their city needs is more death, especially a death that bears the eerie signature of an insane enemy archangel who cannot— should not—be walking the streets.

This hunt must be undertaken with stealth and without alerting their people. It must be handled by those who can become shadows themselves…

Ash is a gifted tracker and a woman cursed with the ability to sense the secrets of anyone she touches. But there’s one man she knows all too well without a single instant of skin contact: Janvier, the dangerously sexy Cajun vampire who has fascinated and infuriated her for years. Now, as they track down a merciless killer, their cat-and-mouse game of flirtation and provocation has turned into a profound one of the heart. And this time, it is Ash’s secret, dark and terrible, that threatens to destroy them both.

Sheri’s Thoughts

I’ve been waiting for this book, since Ms. Singh first introduced Ash and Janvier, and she didn’t disappoint. The mystery and intrigue in this story left me very satisfied.

I loved that Ash still has her tough side, but that we finally learn more about her past and see what makes and shapes her today. I definitely grew to appreciate her character and the way Ms. Singh builds a character profile through her description of Ash’s past. Janvier loves Ash, there is no way that doesn’t immediately show through, he loves her through it all, and that makes him a fantastic hero.

Full of action and lots of past characters popping up, this is a great book for fans of the series. I wouldn’t recommend it to new readers, since I feel like all the previous stories has built up to this, or at least I know I enjoyed it more because I was already acquainted with the world.

I recommend it because Ms. Singh brings a world of action and passion to life with this Guild Hunter book, and it’s a great thrill ride.
