 Shards of Hope

Psy-Changeling #14

by Nalini Singh

Expected publication: June 2nd 2015

Publisher: Berkley Hardcover

Synopsis (from Goodreads):

The “smoldering heat, epic romance, and awesome action” of Nalini Singh’s New York Times bestselling series continues as two Arrows find themselves caught in a chilling conspiracy that spans all three races…

Awakening wounded in a darkened cell, their psychic abilities blocked, Aden and Zaira know they must escape. But when the lethal soldiers break free from their mysterious prison, they find themselves in a harsh, inhospitable landscape far from civilization. Their only hope for survival is to make it to the hidden home of a predatory changeling pack that doesn’t welcome outsiders.

And they must survive. A shadowy enemy has put a target on the back of the Arrow squad, an enemy that cannot be permitted to succeed in its deadly campaign. Aden will cross any line to keep his people safe for this new future, where even an assassin might have hope of a life beyond blood and death and pain. Zaira has no such hope. She knows she’s too damaged to return from the abyss. Her driving goal is to protect Aden, protect the only person who has ever come back for her no matter what.

This time, even Aden’s passionate determination may not be enough—because the emotionless chill of Silence existed for a reason. For the violent, and the insane, and the irreparably broken…like Zaira.

Why am I waiting for it?
I’ve loved the Psy-Changeling series since the very first book, Slave to Sensation. And I wanted to know Aden’s story since I first met him in Caressed by Ice.  Even though I love the changelings in the series more than humans or Psys, Nalini Singh has proved that for a group of emotionless being, the Psys are quite a passionate lot.
