Separated from her son and forced to create a neural implant that will mean the effective enslavement of her psychically gifted race, Ashaya Aleine is the perfect Psy—cool, calm, emotionless...at least on the surface. Inside, she's fighting a desperate battle to save her son and escape the vicious cold of the PsyNet. Yet when escape comes, it leads not to safety, but to the lethal danger of a sniper's embrace.
DarkRiver sniper Dorian Christensen lost his sister to a Psy killer. Though he lacks the changeling ability to shift into animal form, his leopard lives within. And that leopard's rage at the brutal loss is a clawing darkness that hungers for vengeance. Falling for a Psy has never been on Dorian's agenda. But charged with protecting Ashaya and her son, he discovers that passion has a way of changing the rules.

"First, this is an unabridged version, even though it says abridged. I was happy with that because I wanted only unabridged and gave this a try because it said the length was the same as the unabridged version. I love the Psy/Changeling series and reread them often. The audiobooks are just as great as the printed versions. "

“One of the greatest pleasures of these books is their ability to deliver both an intensely personal love story as well as a riveting societal drama. Singh is on the fast track to becoming a genre giant!”

— Romantic Times" Nalini Singh continues to amaze me with the story lines she creates. I loved how she brought Dorian and Ashaya together. There was so much intensity between the two characters and as before, I cannot wait to read more! "

— Melissa, 11/4/2013" Really enjoyed Dorian's book and the ending was far more moving than I would have thought possible. LOVE this series! "
— Ria, 10/15/2013" Another one of Nalini Singh's books that had me reading word for word not skipping over anything. I am reading them out of order. Each page tod a story and I love that. I especially loved the ending "
— Debra, 10/1/2013" For the plane ride home :) "
— Kristin, 9/16/2013" The more I read this series the more I like it. I always like Dorian so it was great to see him with a happy ending. It was also good to see Ashaya get a happy ending after what she did for the kids in the last book. "
— Melanie, 8/31/2013" Good stuff. I really like this series!!!! "
— Jacob, 6/7/2013" I liked this story, but found it a bit predictable. I liked seeing Dorian's parental side though:) "
— Sillylittlefishey, 5/4/2013" I'm still invested in the world of the Psy-Changeling; and with each book more and more of the turmoil of this world is revealed. I'm so curious where this is all heading. "
— Marisa, 4/28/2013" Took me a while to get into, but this story really moved the overall plot of the series forward. Good characters and really made me want to read the next one. "
— Mandy, 4/16/2013" Character-driven instead of plot-driven. It was an entertaining read, but forgettable. I doubt I would pick it up again. "
— Beatrice, 2/3/2013" I didn't really care for Ashaya, and Dorian was SO VERY ANGRY right up until the very last few pages ... the two of them have given me a freaking headache ... o_o "
— Izabela, 12/30/2012" My favorite book of this series so far. I loved the main characters and their story. I was a bit sceptical first and it would be similiar to Sascha/Lucas and Faith/Vaughn again but the whole setting was different this time,with enough twists to make it fresh and very easy to read! "
— Nadine, 12/25/2011" For everyone who shares my fetish: the hero here is blond :D. The book was great, though I didn't like Ashaya quite as much as Nalini Singh's other heroines...don't know why, I somehow couldn't connect with her. Great book, but not my favorite in the series (despite the blond hero!). "
— Teresa's, 10/28/2011" I hope Amara gets her own book someday. "
— Rochelle, 10/22/2011" Definitely my favorite of the series so far. But, then again, I am always drawn to more psychologically damaged (for lack of a better word) characters. <br/>I was drawn to Dorian from the first because of his latency & his pain. Ashaya was fantastic & I enjoyed getting to know her. "
— Christy, 10/15/2011" I really liked it, but I found the chemistry a little hard to buy. I know romance is always alittle far fetched, but this one hmm Idk, but Im loving this series. In fact Im reading the next one now. "
— Heather, 10/12/2011" Oh man do I love Dorian:) I need to find me a changeling man so damn possessive and sexy as hell! <br/> <br/>Loved the action in this one! "
— Krista, 8/24/2011" This is the best one yet! "
