Description

Six hundred years ago, Elijah Ross was tortured into insanity and thrust into a mental hell that no living creature has ever survived…except him. Now, that ancient evil is back, and it is far more deadly.

★★★★★ "Sexy, lustful, imaginative, creative and heartfelt. The Order of the Blade series has it all." ~Mytime (Amazon Review)

Elijah is all that stands between it and the destruction of all of humanity, but each step he takes drags him ruthlessly back into the nightmare that once consumed him.

Elijah's only chance is Ana Matthews, whose sensual kisses and passionate fire thrust hope and light into his blackened heart and fragmented mind. But Ana’s deadly past could be the final trigger for Elijah's descent into irretrievable madness and the destruction of his soul, humanity and what is left of his heart.

All books in the Order of the Blade series can be read as stand-alones and in any order.

  • Too weak

    I couldn’t stand Ana. Way too much “I know you hate me” and poor pitiful me moments. I really enjoyed the first two books, but I had to skip a lot of pages to get through this one.
  • FRUSTRATED!!!!

    I had such HIGH hopes for this book. I really like this author and was all set to read the entire series. BUT….then I read THIS book. This book does’nt know what it wants to be when it grows up. It was way way too long. The story could’ve been done in 300 pages. I felt like every page said the same thing-over and over, and never built the characters or the love story. Compared to the first two books, I couldn’t feel the love between them. I was almost rooting for them to off themselves to save the world. Then there would’ve been a point to it. I found myself bored and flipping pages to get to some kind of interesting part of the story. I was planning on reading the entire series, but this just broke my will to want to keep reading. UGH. The first two are great. This one was just NOT.
  • HOLY CRAP!!! AMAZING, PHENOMENAL!

    Literally could not put this book down. I read it in less than two days, one of the days I worked 10 hours. All I can say is holy crap!!! Your adrenalin is racing and your heart is melting from chapter one. If you like/love Lords Of The Underworld by Gena Showalter you will like/love these books as well. Holy crap! That was sooo good!!!!
  • Great

    This was a good book, but the first in the series was the best. It was a good conclusion for this trilogy. (I would buy the other books in the series but each book is more expensive than the previous one, which seems like a marketing ploy. It would make more sense for them to be the same price.)

    I really like this series. But I am upset that Ian's book is not available on iBooks. Why is that? Had I known a book would be missing I never would have started the series. Now there is no closure for the series for me.
