Synopsis

The author of The Hunger delivers a vivid and stunning conclusion to her critically acclaimed Taker trilogy, bringing Lanore McIlvrae to a final encounter with Adair, her powerful nemesis.

Dismayed by Adair's otherworldly powers and afraid of his passionate temper, Lanore has run from him across time, even imprisoning him behind a wall for two centuries to save Jonathan, her eternal love. But instead of punishing her for her betrayal, Adair declared his love for Lanore once more and set her free.

Now, Lanore has tracked Adair to his mystical island home to ask for one last favor. The Queen of the Underworld is keeping Jonathan as her consort, and Lanore wants Adair to send her to the hereafter so that she may beg for his release. Will she honor her promise to return to Adair? Or is her true intention to be reunited with Jonathan at any cost?

About this title

Review:

"Brilliant series"--RT Book Reviews

"More than a wee bit dark, and super sexy. . . "--Cosmopolitan UK

"Beautiful, mesmerizing."--Library Journal

"A spellbinding journey through time."--New York Times bestselling author Danielle Trussoni

"Imaginative, wholly original. . . . Mesmerizing."--Booklist (starred review)

"This story resonates with spirit, blending myth withreality, tragedy with triumph, the pages oozing with passion into a compellingsaga. Sharp as a broken piece of glass, crisply plotted, way ahead ofanything and everything in the pack."--Steve Berry

"I was really grabbed by the narrative voice and I was fascinated by the story--what a story!"--Charlaine Harris, NYT bestselling co-author of graphic novel Cemetery Girl, on Alma Katsu's The Taker

"This is ultimately what makes Lanore such a compelling heroine, and what makes this series so indelible: While her journey is set in an extraordinary world, her need to love and be loved is fundamental.Her passions are our passions, her weaknesses are our weaknesses, and her quest for a perfect love is every woman's quest for a satisfied heart."--Jamie Brenner, Heroes & Heartbreakers

"This isn't a vampire trilogy; it's something entirely new. It's smart, sophisticated, and utterly shocking; if you have delicate sensibilities, you may prefer not to pick up these books. But if you're an adventurous reader and enjoy beautiful writing and characters you can't even imagine, Katsu's trilogy is an absolute must read."--S. Krishna's Books

"It's always difficult to come to the end of a series, especially one that was so good... This is certainly one of the more interesting series to come along in quite a while."--Bookreporter
