As a member of the elite unit tasked with defending the city, he is battling a mysterious, encroaching darkness that threatens to extinguish the light of Eire Danu forever. Haunted by visions of a woman wreathed in flames, Gage is exhausted, frayed, and desperate for answers. He needs a miracle, but he never expected that his salvation would arrive in the form of a woman whose magic is as wild as his own soul.

Some people may be disappointed, but I am glad the series has returned to it’s roots. Update 8 Sep 2022 spoilers! It was revealed Meryn was pregnant way back in Book 1, My Commander.

Reading Alanea's books are alway a treat. The stories are just a mixture of intense, then light and love... and then a little dash her and there of Meryn. The love story of Gage and Zoe, was center as the battles in Eyre Danu and the reapers kept us reading with anticipation. I am always glad the her stories always incorporate in some way the warriors and mates from previous books, making things come together. I am always sad for her books to end, but happy to read the next. )

Alanea does a good job of recapping things without it being too much of an info dump,...
