New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh is back in the shadows of a
deadly, beautiful world where angels rule, vampires serve, and one female hunter
must crawl out of the darkness to survive …The severed head marked by a
distinctive tattoo on its cheek should have been a Guild case, but dark
instincts honed over hundreds of years of life compel the vampire Dmitri to take
control. There is something twisted about this death, something that whispers of
centuries long past …but Dmitri's need to discover the truth is nothing to
the vicious strength of his response to the hunter assigned to decipher the
tattoo. Savaged in a brutal attack that almost killed her, Honor is nowhere near
ready to come face to face with the seductive vampire who is an
archangel's right hand, and who wears his cruelty as boldly as his lethal
sensuality …the same vampire who has been her secret obsession since the day
she was old enough to understand the inexplicable, violent emotions he aroused
in her. As desire turns into a dangerous compulsion that might destroy them
both, it becomes clear the past will not stay buried. Something is hunting, and
it will not stop until it brings a blood-soaked nightmare to life once
more …
Author Biography
Nalini Singh was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. She spent three
years living and working in Japan, and travelling around Asia before returning
to New Zealand now – although she's always plotting new trips. She has
worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and
an English teacher, not necessarily in that order. Some people might call that
inconsistency, but she calls it grist for the writer's mill.
