Can someone who has read the book do a bit of spoiling for me, please? I haven't read a BDB book in a while and I'm considering reading The Savior. However, I'd prefer to not read a reincarnated love interest plot. And based on the description of the book, that looks possible here. I believe there already was one of those in the series. Can anyone confirm that reincarnation is not the deal here? Thanks in advance.

Did I miss something with l Lassiter? I know that Vishous knew he was the replacement for Scribe Virgin but when did it become "known"?

I just finished reading the Savior and I understand your concerns. However, this story touches subjects readers have silently longed for and I haven't seen voiced before. When reading Brotherhood books, it is useful to understand which series you are reading. There is the true Brotherhood Series, Legacy series of the trainees being brought in, and the Brotherhood World series of common vampires. ?

Now that Devina has returned and now is within the vampire world. (less)
