What to expect

The stunning conclusion to Alma Katsu's gripping supernatural trilogy that began with The Taker.

'We had a tangled history, Adair and I. He had been my lover and my teacher, master to my slave. We had literally been prisoners to one another. Somewhere along the way he fell in love with me, but I was too afraid to love him in return. Afraid of his unexplainable powers, and his furious temper. Afraid of what I knew he was capable of and what even he himself didn’t know he could do. I ran away to follow a safer path with a man I could understand. I always knew, however, that my path would one day lead back to Adair...'

Critics Review

  • I was really grabbed by the narrative voice and I was fascinated by the story – what a story!

    Charlaine Harris, bestselling author of the True Blood series
  • This story resonates with spirit, blending myth with reality, tragedy with triumph, the pages oozing with passion into a compelling saga. Sharp as a broken piece of glass, crisply plotted, way ahead of anything and everything in the pack.

    Steve Berry, bestselling author of The King's Deception
  • Engrossing … this thrilling conclusion is a can’t-miss entry for fans who have followed Lanny’s journey from 1800s New England to contemporary times. And it’s utterly impossible to put down.
