Rehvenge, as a half-breed symphath, is used to living in the shadows and
hiding his true identity. As a club owner and a dealer on the black market,
he's also used to handling the roughest nightwalkers around – including the
members of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. He's kept his distance from the
Brotherhood as his dark secret could make things complicated on both sides –
but now, as head of the vampire aristocracy, he's an ally that Wrath, the Blind
King, desperately needs. Rehv's secret is about to get out, though, which will
land him in the hands of his deadly enemies- and test the mettle of his female,
turning her from a civilian into a vigilante…
Reviews
“Tautly written, wickedly sexy and just plain fun.” Lisa Gardner
“Ward powers into hardcover with the tangled seventh title in the Black
Dagger Brotherhood series, picking up four months after the end of 2008's Lover
Enshrined. Rehvenge, a "symphath” vampire who gets energy from manipulating
others' emotions, is recruited by a group who want to displace vampire king
Wrath, a gruff, determined vigilante. Rehvenge is also falling hard for vampire
nurse Ehlena, who disdains his affections and focuses on caring for her ailing
father. Ward easily juggles numerous personal and political plot lines, keeping
the tension revved high while moving forward with subplots that have lingered
for several books and will please longtime fans seeking resolution. New readers
may be a little lost despite a helpful glossary, but the fast pace and
cliffhanger ending will have fans wishing they could start the next book right
away." Publishers Weekly
