  <default_description>Now, as the vampire warriors defend their race against their slayers, one male's loyalty to the Brotherhood will be tested--and his dangerous mixed blood revealed... 

Rehvenge has always kept his distance from the Brotherhood-even though his sister is married to a member, for he harbors a deadly secret that could make him a huge liability in their war against the lessers. As plots within and outside of the Brotherhood threaten to reveal the truth about Rehvenge, he turns to the only source of light in his darkening world, Ehlena, a vampire untouched by the corruption that has its hold on him-and the only thing standing between him and eternal destruction.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I have to say J.R. Ward has outdone herself.  This is by far the best of the series.  Even without the steamy scenes of the previous books....ie: bathroom scene with Vishous and Jane, Library scene with Wrath and Beth etc.. <br/><br/>I wasn't crazy about Rehv in the earlier books, but I absolutely...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37408142">more...</a>]]></body>
