In this Guild Hunter novel, New York Times bestselling author Nalini
Singh returns to her world of angelic rulers, vampiric servants, and the
woman thrust into their darkly seductive world...
Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux wakes from a year-long coma to find
herself changed--an angel with wings of midnight and dawn--but her
fragile body needs time to heal before she can take flight. Her lover,
the stunningly dangerous archangel Raphael, is used to being in
control--especially when it comes to the woman he considers his own. But
Elena has never done well with authority...
They've barely begun to learn each other when Raphael receives an
invitation to a ball from the archangel Lijuan. To refuse would be a
sign of fatal weakness, so Raphael must ready Elena for the flight to
Beijing--and to the nightmare that awaits. For ancient and without
conscience, Lijuan's power lies with the dead. And she has organized the
most perfect and most vicious of welcomes for Elena...
