Nika Madison will go to any lengths to prove that her sister Tori is not dead, but rather a prisoner of the monstrous Synestryn. When Nika escapes the Sentinelsβ stronghold to dig up the bones purported to be Toriβs remains, she is attacked by ravening sgath. Madoc, a Theronai warrior who is close to losing his soul, saves her. Nika is horribly pained by the touch of Theronai men who hope the blood in her veins is their redemption, but she finds Madocβs touch enjoyable. When Tori, pregnant by an evil monster, realizes her captor is using her to lure Nika, she tries to sever their psychic link. But Nika is determined to save her sister before she gives birth, and finds new strength through a bond with Madoc that thrusts them and the other Sentinels into a violent and bloody battle. Myriad characters, multiple subplots, complex relationships, and overwhelming love build to a kaleidoscopic climax. The fourth book in Butcherβs Sentinels series continues to unite couples and forces of good against the demonic forces of evil. --Diana Tixier Herald
