Publisher's summary

Destiny, duty, and desire clash in this epic new novel in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Lassiter, the fallen angel, is 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 the angel has a reason to stay in Caldwell. He’s bonded with a mysterious female who seemed to appear from out of nowhere...and has powers that defy all reason.

Rahvyn is well aware that she doesn’t belong in the present. And she never intended to stay, for her true place is in the past. Lassiter proves to be undeniable, however, and she lets herself fall for the angel—until a secret he’s been keeping comes out and she fears that for him, 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 has to decide whether to stay and help—or save herself from an immortal heartbreak she knows will crush her very soul...

Critic reviews

"Frangione embodies all the emotions Lassiter feels—from despair when he thinks that he and Rahvyn must be separated to joy when they are reunited. Frangione masterfully provides a deep masculine voice for the vampire fighters and is equally adept at the female characters. Threatening the vampires is the demon Devina and her lover, Lash, and Frangione makes them sound appropriately menacing." (AudioFile Magazine)

The Warden Strikes Again!

Although I had been looking forward to Lassiter's story I have say I was a little disappointed in this book. I loved Lassiter and Ravyn's finally getting their HEA my disappointed came that there was too much Lash and Devina and not enough of the Brothers. I think I. the earlier books seeing all of the interactions withe the Brothers and their shellans is what made the stories so special. I didn't have a problem with the time jump but what happened to Phurys story regarding Agony? not saying I didn't enjoy this but would have like more of the Brotherhood. This is a BDB book. As always Jim's performance was spot on and amazing!!

loved it!

Love the continuity of always hearing Jim F doing the narration. He brings so much to the telling of the saga. This book you finally get to see the tender heart beating in the cocky smart-ass that has been Lassiter to this point. J.R. if you read this. please continue w LW , I worry about what his life has been like without Wrath and what it will be like in the future..and Nala too!

Cool

I haven't reviewed one of these books in a while because they are always great. But this one was " off the chain" good. It was wonderful from beginning to end.
