Publisher's summary

The number one New York Times best-selling author of The Sinner brings another hot adventure of true love and ultimate sacrifice in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world.

The location of the glymera’s notorious prison camp was lost after the raids. When a freak accident provides Nyx clues to where her sister may still be doing time, she becomes determined to find the secret subterranean labyrinth. Embarking on a journey under the earth, she learns a terrible truth - and meets a male who changes everything, forever.

The Jackal has been in the camp for so long he cannot recall anything of the freedom he once knew. Trapped by circumstances out of his control, he helps Nyx because he cannot help himself. After she discovers what happened to her sister, getting her back out becomes a deadly mission for them both.

United by a passion they can’t deny, they work together on an escape plan for Nyx - even though their destiny is to be forever apart. And as the Black Dagger Brotherhood is called upon for help, and Rhage discovers he has a half-brother who’s falsely imprisoned, a devious warden plots the deaths of them all...even the Brothers.

Ward style Romance!

Love this spin off and can't wait for the next in the series. As always, Jim Frangione is the voice of the Brotherhood, excellent!

The family continues to grow

J.R. Ward continues the saga with a new offshoot. Jack and Nix meet under circumstances that raise the hair on the back of your neck and a budding passion that elevates the blood. Don't miss this exciting new book as Jim Frangione brings it all to life!

Another Homerun!

Loved it! J.R. Ward did it again! I love her writing style. I love Jim Frangione. I love Jack and Nyx. I felt that the story made perfect sense. Ive read some reviews that some didn't like the beginnings of Jack and Nyx but insta-attraction for the males is part of their makeup when it comes to their mates and also as the story unravels....anyway... if you are a true fan of J.R..... IDK how you could ever doubt her ability to weave a beautiful love story out of the darkest depths.

Another great story!

Nyx goes looking for her sister who was sent to prison 50 years ago. When she finds the entrance to the camp, she has no idea what she’s in for. She runs into The Jackal early in her search, and he does what he can to help her find out what happened to her sister.

I really enjoyed this book! I’ve seen mixed reviews on it, but I’m a true JR Ward fan and am a definite Jim Frangione fan. (Pretty sure he could read me the phone book and I’d be happy listening!!)

Another Outstanding Performance By All

So glad the storyline continues. JR you continue to outperform yourself. And Jim you are the life of the story with your narration. It would not be the same without you. It is wonderful to see all Brothers of the black daggerhood intertwined in this new offshoot series. This first book is centered around Nix & Jack (The Jackal). Nix has spent over 50 years looking for her sister who was wrongfully (?) put in prison. She finds an underground prison not far from home one night and and with possible intent of finding her sister and bringing her home. And there she meets Jack. There is plenty of action twists suspense mystery and romance. So awaiting the next book. JR please make it a long one and write fast.

it was almost a DNF but I pushed through

This wasn't my favorite JR book. I stopped and started many times but I was actually happy with the ending and glad I finished it.

The Jackal

Such a different setting, but with the normal friendships and relationships. It was nice to learn more history about the house and Darius.
