From #1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward comes an unforgettable story of passion and vengeance set in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world.
When Ahmare’s brother is abducted, there is nothing she won’t do to get him back safely. She is unprepared, however, for the lengths she will have to go to save his life. Paired with a dangerous but enticing prisoner, she embarks on an odyssey into another world.
Duran, betrayed by his father, imprisoned in a dungeon for decades, has survived only because of his thirst for vengeance. He has been biding his time to escape and is shocked to find an unlikely and temporary freedom in the form of a determined young female.
Battling against deadly forces and facing unforeseen peril, the pair are in a race to save Ahmare’s brother. As time runs out, and the unthinkable looms, even true love may not be enough to carry them through.
Review:
As a Black
Dagger Brotherhood fan, I’m game for anything that resides in the same
world. And as I read the opening pages
of Prisoner of Night, I knew I was
going to be consumed alive by another dark, raw, compelling story by the master
J.R. Ward. Once I began, the outside
world ceased to exist for me until I read the final page of this novella – one
that reads with the depth of plot and fully-explored characterizations of a
full-length book.
Ahmare is on a mission to free her brother from the horrors of evil warlord Chalen’s dungeon. She does the unthinkable in order to fulfill the terms of Chalen’s agreement only to be told it’s not enough to settle her brother’s debt. Chalen charges her with one final challenge - to find and bring back his beloved. Duran has been held captive and brutally tortured in the same dungeon as Admare’s brother for 21 years. Admare and Duran must work together to retrieve the object of Chalen’s desire. It is through their journey and intimate talks together that we learn the depth of both their sad pasts. Duran’s is especially tragic, and my heart bled on the pages as he opened his to Admare. He’s on a mission for revenge while she’s focused on freeing her brother. Is it possible for both to achieve their goal without hurting the other?
There’s no easing into Prisoner of Night as the action is immediate and ongoing in this raw, gutsy novella. The contrasts between good and evil, love and hate, forgiveness and revenge are clearly defined and thought-provoking. All of it swirling together swept me up in a whirlwind of emotion that had me fighting tears as the outcome is unclear until the very end. Prisoner of Night is another knockout in this fantastic series. And I suspect we haven’t heard the last from this couple, including some outstanding support characters like Shadow Nexi (I hope!). A raw, gritty, Must Read addition to the Black Dagger Brotherhood world! I loved it!
My Rating: 4 Bleeding Hearts . . . And that's the truth!
