The plot for this book
is actually surprisingly involved for the Black Dagger Brotherhood.
While we do have a relationship between His Whineyness Phury and
Cormia front and centre but it's relatively easy to ignore and you
can see the true action beneath.
The Omega has decided
to combat the Dhestroyer prophecy with both a new fore-lesser and to
tap his son – the son of a powerful vampire aristocrat. Bringing
him back into the fold not only brings a powerful warrior with
terrifying abilities but also bringing with him powerful intelligence
that allows the lessers to hit a lot of extremely high profile
targets which in turn leads to the looming shadow of politics in the
glymeria
John Matthew's story
develops a lot with his relationship and the relationships between
him, Baylock and Quinn growing. The trio are more firmly ensconced in
the Black Dagger Brotherhood and I think these 3 are the most
engaging characters in the series
Rehvenge has to
continue to negotiate his half-sympath side, and the things he has to
endure to keep it hidden. And to cap it all we have Lassiter, a
fallen angel, coming to the Brotherhood with something they had lost
