The Beast
Rhage and Mary return in a new novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, where nothing is as it used to be. After avoiding war with the Shadows, alliances have shifted, and the slayers of the Lessening Society are stronger than ever.
As the Brotherhood readies for an all-out attack, Rhage, the Brother with the biggest appetites, faces a battle within himself.
Despite having Mary, his beloved shellan, by his side, Rhage is plagued by panic and insecurity, which terrifies him and distances him from his mate.
After suffering a mortal injury in battle, Rhage must reassess his priorities, leading to a revelation that rocks his world and Mary's.
Meanwhile, Mary embarks on her own journey, which will either bring them closer together or cause a split that neither will recover from.
