Still reeling from the murder of his sister, Dorian hates the Psy with every fiber of his being. But when a Psy target enters his crosshairs, Dorian can't pull the trigger. He should be repulsed by scientist Ashaya Aleine; instead he can't get the woman off his mind. Dorian is responsible for saving Ashaya's gifted son from the Psy and their strict code of Silence. Now Ashaya needs the same kind of saving.

Just as Dorian makes up his mind to give the "Ice Princess" a chance and maybe thaw her out a bit, he discovers she's been giving safe harbor to a psychopath every bit as dangerous as the man who slaughtered his sister. Enraged and a little bit repulsed, Dorian is ready to back off again, but this woman and her little boy have his heartstrings firmly in their grasp and aren't letting him go for anyone or anything.

Singh gets better and better with every book. Hers is a fascinating universe; I've thoroughly enjoyed every visit.
