Aus dem Klappentext

Two brothers bound by more than blood fight to change a brutal destiny in the heart-wrenching new novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood

Trez 'Latimer' doesn't really exist. And not just because the identity was created so that a Shadow could function in the underbelly of the human world. Sold by his parents to the Queen of the S'Hsibe as a child, Trez escaped and has spent years on the run from a destiny of sexual servitude. He's never had anyone he could rely on . . . except for his brother, iAm.

iAm's sole goal has always been to keep his brother from self-destructing - and he knows he's failed. When the Chosen Selena enters Trez's life the male begins to turn things around . . . but by then it's too late. The pledge to mate the Queen's daughter comes due and there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no negotiating.

Trapped between his heart and a fate he never volunteered for, Trez must decide whether to endanger himself and others - or forever leave behind the female he's in love with. Then an unimaginable tragedy strikes and changes everything. Now Trez must find a reason to go on or risk losing himself and his soul forever. And iAm, in the name of brotherly love, is faced with making the ultimate sacrifice . . .
