About this ebook

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Anne Bishop returns to her world of the Others, as humans struggle to survive in the shadow of shapeshifters and vampires far more powerful than themselves...
 
After a human uprising was brutally put down by the Elders—a primitive and lethal form of the Others—the few cities left under human control are far-flung. And the people within them now know to fear the no-man’s-land beyond their borders—and the darkness...
 
As some communities struggle to rebuild, Lakeside Courtyard has emerged relatively unscathed, though Simon Wolfgard, its wolf shifter leader, and blood prophet Meg Corbyn must work with the human pack to maintain the fragile peace. But all their efforts are threatened when Lieutenant Montgomery’s shady brother arrives, looking for a free ride and easy pickings.
 
With the humans on guard against one of their own, tensions rise, drawing the attention of the Elders, who are curious about the effect such an insignificant predator can have on a pack. But Meg knows the dangers, for she has seen in the cards how it will all end—with her standing beside a grave...

Ratings and reviews

Liked it. Price when released is a joke. Need to wait over a year for asking price to drop. Worth waiting for though. If they didnt pretend the ebook was worth $50 and they reduced it to $40 then in few months 40 reduced to 30 and finally worth what other ebooks charge a year or so later...

I love the Others series. I reread it all the time. I enjoy how the books make me laugh, cry, feel happy, enraged, compassionate, sad - the whole gamut. I love how invested I get in the characters every time. I truly appreciate how Bishop flows her words to spin a tapestry that presents itself like a movie in my mind as I read. These stories are fiction, yet so well written you truly think "this could totally happen." lol I have all the books of this series, plus their "spin offs". Highly recommend them all. Thank you, Anne Bishop. 🙂

Another great addition to the Others series! Interesting choice of villain this time, and thought-provoking material, and a fun ride. Thanks, Ms. Bishop!
