About the book
A heart-wrenching tale of love and betrayal in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward.
Framed for the grisly murder of his shellan, Kane is sentenced to the infamous prison camp without knowing the truth behind his arranged mating. Hundreds of years later, he is badly burned while trying to rescue others, hoping to be reunited with his mate in the Fade without realizing what lies ahead.
Nadya, a self-taught nurse, does her best to alleviate the prisoners' suffering. When Kane is under her care, she can't help but relate to his predicament for personal reasons. As he is taken away by the guards for the last time, she fears for his life.
After a bold rescue, Kane is offered a treatment that will alter his essence. Choosing life for now, he returns for the woman who cared for him so well. However, his obligation to Nadya leads him down a path of reckoning with his own past. Unavoidably, his self-destruction looms as buried secrets come to light, unless true love can redeem his soul.
