#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents the
electrifying conclusion to her powerful Circle Trilogy. Worlds have
collided and centuries have elapsed as six people have brought their
unique powers, their courage, and their hearts to a battle that could
drown humanity in darkness....
Her face, so pale when she'd removed her cloak, had bloomed when her
hand had taken the sword. Her eyes, so heavy, so somber, had gone as
brilliant as the blade. And had simply sliced through him, keen as a
sword, when they'd met his....
In the kingdom of Geall, the scholarly Moira has taken up the sword of
her people. Now, as queen, she must prepare her subjects for the
greatest battle they will ever fight--against an enemy more vicious than
any they have seen. For Lilith, the most powerful vampire in the world,
has followed the circle of six through time to Geall.
Moira also has a personal score to settle. Vampires killed her
mother--and now, she is ready to exact her revenge. But there is one
vampire to whom she would trust her soul...
Cian was changed by Lilith centuries ago. But now, he stands with the
circle. Without hesitation, he will kill others of his kind--and has
earned the respect of sorcerer, witch, warrior, and shape-shifter. But
he wants more than respect from Moira--even though his desire for her
makes him vulnerable. For how can a man with an eternity to live love a
woman whose life is sure to end--if not by Lilith's hand, then by the
curse of time?
