Shadow's Heart

By: Kresley Cole

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

In this heart-stopping installment in the New York Times best-selling Immortals After Dark series, a vampire swordswoman and a ruthless sorcerer become inmates in a hellplane prison.

A FALLEN PRINCESS: Sheltered Kosmina Daciano has always yearned for adventure. But her first trip to the mortal world turns dark when a foe curses her with bloodlust—ensuring her exile in the sinister dimension of Nightside.

AN OUTLAW SORCERER: For millennia, Silt Harea has flouted the laws of the Lore with all the arrogance of a king, remaining one step ahead of ruination. Yet then a mysterious bounty hunter schemes to capture him, dispatching him straight to hell.

FIGHT TO ESCAPE A DYING REALM: In Nightside, Silt clashes with the hunter’s sister, also condemned. Never imagining that she might be the key to his escape—and his future—he vows revenge against her. But Mina is no easy quarry.

Can two doomed immortals survive long enough to salvage a nightmare, turning hatred into love and vengeance into bliss?

The best series and Robert Petkoff is amazing!

Yep, I have my new favorite IAD heroine. If you are familiar with Kresley Cole's books, you will understand when I say this is old school KC at her finest. Uncle Lothaire is back in all his insane (literally) glory with his new (though reluctant) sidekick (perhaps hostage would be a better word) Baby Bro Kristoff. Mina, the beloved and sheltered (VERY SHELTERED) princess of the Dacians, is mistakenly taken to the "prison world" for Loreans. Yet, she is far from being a damsel in distress. Her uncles and brother have shaped their sheltered princess into a killing machine in combat. I now think this Dacian might actually be the one closest to Lothaire's level of brilliance and strategy. Oh, and let's not forget to mention the King of Sand, Harea, who is determined to claim her, but also wants to kill her brother. Well, I guess all couples have their challenges... THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!! The series is amazing! My new favorite of the series!!! I cannot say enough about Robert Petkoff. He is one of the best voice actors I have ever listened to. He makes take an already superb storyline to another level.
