This is the story of Elijah and Ana. It will take you to dark places and it will also lift you up. A lot of suspense and action but ultimately love will be the one thing that can save them all. Many things finally get uncovered as we learn more about their history, their journeys and how each of them has gotten where they are so far.Elijah has been tortured so much his mind is damaged beyond repair. The only thing that keeps him sane and grounded is the touch of his Sheva, Ana. Her simple touch can clear his head and he can separate reality from illusion and keep at bay all the demons in his head that are hunting him. With Ezekiel out of his prison time is running out so he must get it together fast and help his brothers find a way to bring him down.After her capture and subsequent torture Ana has been broken. All the pretty illusions she use to create are all gone. In their place are horrible nightmares that were beaten out of her. Forced to kill many Calydons with her illusions what haunts her the most is reliving the death of the one man that made her feel safe, the one who cared enough about her that he gave his life for hers, her soulmate Elijah. She's tormented by those memories but when she finds out that he's alive and broken she vows to make up for all the damage she's done by helping him live a happy life.She could never open her heart to anyone of that fact she was aware but when the bond between them gets stronger she can't help but fall for Elijah. She's afraid because even though he's pulled toward her, he must surely hate her for the monster that she is. Will they be able to get past all the issues that surround them? Will they be able to get Ezekiel in time? Will they have enough power to go against him? Or are they doomed before they even start?This book was action packed and very suspenseful. It was a nail biter all the way to the end.
