With that one ominous message years ago, Arri's life, and the person she thought she was, has never been the same. What Nicholas started must be finished.
While Nicholas lays the final plans for Arri's destruction, he is still haunted by the Old Ones' last words, the prophecy that has foretold his defeat.
And yet, he is so close-he can taste the power he craves, emboldening him to play dirty, to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He is ready to embrace his destiny, and he is more dangerous than ever.
Nicholas may be no master of fate, but as Arri's powers have grown, her connection to Nicholas has become all-consuming. She has seen what he is capable of, and now, she is faced with losing love, her mortality, and the life she has come to love and accept.
In the final days of the vampire war, masters will be betrayed, friendships will be splintered, and allies gained as Nizari-king of the formidable Shadows-also has it out for her.
Knowing what will befall everyone if Nicholas possesses absolute control, the unthinkable may be Arri's only choice.
Less certain, Arri must still find out for herself: Though more powerful than ever before, will she be strong enough to end this for good?
Perfect for fans of the Twilight Series, The Lunar Chronicles, Crave Series and Vampire Kisses.
