River Kassandros was born into servitude over two centuries ago. His status doesn't change when he is among the seven Spartan warriors given the choice to become immortal and protect the innocent. River is extremely unique among the men due to his capability to shape-shift into any weapon his master needs. He spends too long as a blade during the last battle making it more difficult to shift back to his warrior state. Then River is captured and tossed into the river. He has no hope of rescue, unless someone comes along to save him from the lonely, watery grave before the darkness takes over his soul.

Emma Lowery's best friend has left her to fend for herself on their camping trip, her cell phone is in her car and a crazy storm is coming out of the middle of nowhere. All of a sudden, she begins to hear a voice asking for help, even though there is no one in the vicinity. Because of her unique family talent, Emma understands the changes going on in Savannah with demons entering the neighborhood. She has been running from this talent ever since her twin sister died tragically. Now she is being pulled toward the river by a voice in desperate need of help and she is unable to resist.

This next installment in the Gods of Midnight series is just as action-packed and passion-filled as the first one. Definitely a must-read!
