The daughter of a legend finds the love of a lifetime in this passionate, heart-wrenching installment in J.R. Wardās #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
Nalla, the blooded daughter of Zsadist, has led a sheltered life. Protected by her father and the Brotherhood, kept away from the deadly war with the Lessening Society, she is chafing against the walls of the very safety that has ensured her survival. One night, she gives in to her restlessnessā¦and finds herself face-to-face with a male whose inner darkness rivals even that of her sireās horrific origins.
Nate is a fighter with nothing to loseāand nothing to live for. Tortured in a human lab as a young, then cursed with immortality, he is all vengeance and no purpose because he cares for no oneānot even himself. The Brotherhood knows this all too well and following Nateās deliberate violation of the cardinal rule in the war, they declare him a dangerous liability that must be dealt with.
When Nalla and Nate find themselves fighting side by side, daggers arenāt the only things that fly. A sizzling attraction is ignited, though Nalla knows her sire will never accept himāand on his side, Nate has made a secret bargain to end his own immortality. As the enemy closes in, and Nalla realizes she must choose between her mate and her sire, what starts with such passion may well end with eternal sorrow and no chance of a reunionāeven in the Fade.
