Length: 11 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's summary

Some feelings you just can't fight.

He is known as the Warrior Captain - a master of every weapon, a fierce soldier sworn to protect his kind. Powerful, relentless, merciless, Elijah has always won every battle he's ever taken on - until now. Ambushed by necromancers, he is left for dead only to be discovered by the woman who could very well deliver the final blow: Siena, the Lycanthrope Queen.

With three centuries of warring, little more than a decade of uneasy peace has existed between the Lycanthropes and Elijah's people. Now, after a lifetime of suspicion, the warrior in Elijah is consumed with a different battle - winning Siena's heart by giving her pleasure beyond all boundaries. What starts as attraction and arousal soon burns into a passion with consequences that will echo through the ages for both their people. And as would-be enemies become inseparable lovers, another threat approaches, one with the power to destroy them all.

Spend some more time with the Nightwalkers - if you dare.

Critic reviews

"Both leads are strong, and Frank grants her hero a refreshing measure of insight into the relationship. What works even better is the camaraderie that develops between the Nightwalker tribes, as Frank plunges deeper into her dark world." ( Publishers Weekly)

Love this world!

I am loving this world created by the author and I am downloading the next book as I type this out!

My favorite in this series.

I don’t consider this entry the best of the series in terms of the plot. My rating for this novel comes solely from the fact that I utterly and fully felt in love with Siena and Elijah- it’s as simple as that, and I’m most likely ignoring some of the book’s flaws by my partiality towards their romance. From the moment these two protagonists met in the previous book; I felt their real and unquestionable chemistry, and when I finally got my hands on the book I loved every minute of it. The struggle they undergo to overcome their differences make their moments together steamy, erotic, spontaneous, tender, scorching hot and explosive. Elijah, the Demon Captain, is an alpha male through and through, but he’s not afraid to back down from the sometimes temperamental, Siena Queen of the Lycanthropes. I love them together as well as independently. They are both strong and determined leaders.
As a paranormal romance, these books do follow a formula, but after all, we read/listen to these books for the fantasy and escapism they offer, and this series is not the exception, the action, suspense, hot alpha males, kick -ass heroines, the erotic but tastefully written scenes, and the intricate world so cleverly put together by Ms. Franks, will do just that.
Xe Sands has done it again!! And I didn’t have any doubts to the contrary, especially after her great performance with Jacob (first of this series). The complete grasp of these characters and the world is clearly conveyed by her rendition. The long introduction at the beginning of this book, takes a completely different tone with the soft, sensual, never intrusive or jarring voice of Ms. Sands, and allows the listener to be completely submerged in the story, forgetting a times the fact that it’s being read by some else, that in and of itself is a tremendous achievement for a narrator and most definitely accomplished by Ms. Sands with the narration parts of this book. Again the male voices are impressive, no complaints at all with her portrayal on Elijah, his personalty was beautifully brought to life. Siena's Russian accent, although not the best I've listened to, was compensated by the manner it was delivered, clearly communicating her strong willed personalty.
All in all, this was an excellent performance by Xe Sands.

Still loving this series!!!

Book 3 does not disappoint. The saga continues with the lycanthorpe, demon, druid, and vampire races. I have really enjoyed this series and I recommend it. In my opinion it's well worth the credit or purchase price. I'm definitely getting book 4.

still loving the series

I have really enjoyed these books, as they are a different take on the whole demon, wereanimal, and vampire worlds. This book is sexy and has a strong story-line to go along with it. The main women in the books are strong characters in their own rights, but are made more complete by their bond with the male counter-parts.

Elijah doesn't know his life is incomplete, until he is mortally injured and he receives the assistance of Sienna, the werecougar queen. They initially resist the pairing, especially the female, but in the end the resistance is all for naught. Having had only a distaste for male warriors like her dad, Sienna is afraid to let go for fear of having devastating results occur for herself and her people. Elijah must prove himself to her, all while a crazy renegade demon tries to take out all the people he loves. Great story, with all the various stories going on tying up neatly at the end.

Elijah

Great series. I have read to book 4 and I love them all. Highly recommended read.

Yummy!

Terrific addition to the Nightwalker series, Elijah is well worth reading. The fierce warrior's story of love and war is as sexy as the previous books have been.

Five Stars For The Narration

Once this book finally got going with some dialog instead of all the thinking and telling of the story I enjoyed it. The "voices", the interpretation of the characters personalities and their actions were all spot on.

This series is fabulous as narrated by Sands - Audio is the ONLY way to go with these books.

KEEPS GETTING BETTER!

The Nightwalkers series is my new obsession. This third installment may be the best yet. The first one--Jacob--is a favorite, and this is definitely a contender for that spot! I couldn't stop listening to this one, and with every chapter it literally got better and better. I am eagerly anticipating what happens next, and will be purchasing book 4, 5, and 6. With superb narration, great romance, a myriad of characters, and a multifaceted storyline that you can sink your vivid imagination into, this series is well worth the money and/or a credit!

wow

can these books get any better, elijah had his hand full with that cat,lol. well off to the next.

Addicted to this Series

Another solid addition to the Night Walker series and I'm officially addicted. Be sure to start with book one for the best understanding of the ongoing plot. The action is fast, the romance tingly and the characters endearing.

The narrator's voice isn't my favorite but it didn't necessarily detract from the story so I was okay with it.
