About this book
Step into the high-stakes world of the Black Dagger Legacy, where the line between mortal danger and eternal desire blurs. As a standout trainee, Boone has proven his mettle as a warrior, but his world is upended when his sire dies, forcing him onto a new, perilous path.

I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood books and I always like a second bite at the apple when I read the Legacy books. The third book was a cool way to wind up the Beast storyline with Rhage, Mary and Bitty and get Ruhn and Saxton introduced. This book was a great intro for the Band of Bastards.

Like the brothers, this troubled male had what sounds like a harrowing life and I hope...
