What this book is about

Butch O'Neal, a human detective with a complicated past, has been living with the Black Dagger Brotherhood since his capture by the enemy. When he discovers he has a deeper connection to the vampire world than anyone guessed, his transformation changes everything—including his impossible feelings for Marissa, a sheltered aristocratic vampire who was once Wrath's shellan. Ward's fourth Brotherhood novel is one of the most emotionally ambitious in the series, balancing Butch's identity crisis against the ongoing war with the Lessening Society.
