Now, after rescuing a wounded stranger, she's landed in the middle of a battle between corrupt vampires and powerful immortals who also need blood to survive. Roland Warbrook is the most compelling man Sarah has ever laid hands on. But his desire for her is mingled with a hunger he can barely control... In his nine centuries of immortal existence, no woman has tempted Roland as much as Sarah. But asking her to love him is impossible—when it means forfeiting the world she's always known, and the life he would do anything to protect.

"Not as good as I'd hoped. (view spoiler)[An important plot point wasn't foreshadowed, but was instead just pulled out of the hat at the end. That's poor writing, IMO. (hide spoiler)] That said, I'm going to give the series another chance and read the next book, Night Reigns, when it comes out. If for no other reason, I want to see how the cliffhanger from Darkness Dawns plays out."
