About this ebook

Enter the world of the Others in the first novel in New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop’s thrilling fantasy series: a place where unearthly entities—vampires and shape-shifters among them—rule the Earth and prey on the human race.

As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others.

Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.

Ratings and reviews

I couldn't decide if this was a book I should invest my time. I looked at it several times before downloading. And I am so very happy I gave in and purchased this book! I couldn't put it down once I started!

Great story. I love Meg! She's such an innocent spirit trying her hardest to live her life on her own terms. I sooooo hope there will be another book!

Started reading it out of curiosity. Had never ridden read a book by Miss bishop. I truly enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the next book
