The Book
Release Date: 28 Oct 2021
Nalini Singh returns to the world of the Guild Hunters for the most highly anticipated novel of the beloved series—a love story so epic it’s been half a millennia in the making…
Illium and Aodhan. Aodhan and Illium. For centuries they’ve been inseparable: the best of friends, closer than brothers, companions of the heart. But that was before—before darkness befell Aodhan and shattered him, body, mind, and soul. Now, at long last, Aodhan is healing, but his new-found strength and independence may come at a devastating cost—his relationship with Illium.
As they serve side by side in China, a territory yet marked by the evil of its former archangel, the secret it holds nightmarish beyond imagining, things come to an explosive decision point. Illium and Aodhan must either walk away from the relationship that has defined them—or step forward into a future that promises a bond infinitely precious in the life of an immortal…but that demands a terrifying vulnerability from two badly bruised hearts.

My Review 5 STARS
At last we have the story of Aohdan and Illium and in this book we get both the past and the present as we see how this pair have become so close and the major events that have shaped them. We get to see their pair, but them we also get to see their happiness.
Aodhan went to China to help Suyin as a second to help her in the aftermath of her Aunts death as she establishes herself as the new Archangel. Aodhan is only there to help however, but having newly awakened to a semblance of what he was before he had been taken Illium is finding it hard that Aodhan is becoming angry when he tries to help.
Illium however has a massive heart and shows his love for those he holds close by holing on a little too tight and giving more of himself and not thinking about himself.
We also finally get to see the event that had Aohdan taken and held hostage for two hundred years as he finally opens up to Illium and reveals why he did not wish to be touched by others or even Illium.
It was not much of a shock to watch as this very close pair of friends evolved into something more. As they shared their last secrets and finally opened up that last little part of each other, trusting the other with the last vestige of themselves and the knowledge that they are together forever.
I am certainly hoping that we get more books in this series and I am currently sad that there are currently no further books in this series.
