NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
In this pulse-pounding and thrillingly sensual novel, Lara Adrian
returns to the mesmerizing world of the Midnight Breed, following new
characters into a dark future where an uneasy peace can unravel into
war--and a great betrayal can mask an all-consuming love.
Twenty years after the terror of First Dawn--when mankind learned that
vampires lived secretly among them--the threat of violence reigns as the
two species struggle to coexist. The only group preserving the fragile
harmony is the Order, an elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to
protecting humans and vampires alike. And in this precarious world of
torn loyalties and shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds
that every fight bears an intensely personal cost.
Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the warrior's code
of swift--and even lethal--justice. But the one thing she desires more
than the Order's hard-won acceptance is Kellan Archer, a sexy but
troubled Breed fighter. In love with him since childhood, Mira once
broke through his tough exterior during an unexpected night of rapture,
but the next day he mysteriously disappeared, never to return.
Kellan didn't think he would ever see Mira again--or have to confront
the truth of why he left. After abandoning the Order years ago, he now
leads a band of human rebels intent on carrying out their own vigilante
rule of law. Yet a high-profile kidnapping assignment brings him
face-to-face with the past he sought to avoid, and the striking woman he
has tried desperately to forget. And as tensions mount and the risk of
bloodshed grows, Kellan and Mira must take sides--between the competing
missions that dominate their lives, and the electrifying passion that
claims their hearts.
