#1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward’s Black Daggar Brotherhood series continues as the cold heart of a cunning predator is warmed against its will...
Ruthless and brilliant, Vishous, son of the Bloodletter, possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a pretrans growing up in his father’s war camp, he was tormented and abused. As a member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time—until a destiny he didn’t choose takes him into a future that cannot include her....
During his early years as a pretrans he knew life only from the dark side. At the edges of daily starvation, beaten and tortured, forced to rape others, Vishous never ever dared to dream of happiness in his life. The darkness inside of him was his best partner. A loneliness deep inside, no mother to hold him, when he was down. And all of a sudden Jane comes in his life and makes everything rootless like a twister. And even though Jane is the one for him, they won't be allowed to be together. There is another destiny made for him. And once again, his life falls apart.
