Kyon Ensin finally has what he's always wanted: possession of Kricket Hollowell, the priestess who foresees the future. Together, their combined power will be unrivaled. Kricket, however, doesn't crave the crown of Ethar--she has an unbreakable desire to live life on her own terms, a life that she desperately wants to share with her love, Trey Allairis.

As conspiracies rage in the war for Ethar, Kricket's so-called allies want to use her as a spy. Even those held closest cannot be trusted--including Astrid, her sister, and Giffen, a member of a mysterious order with a hidden agenda. But Kricket's resolve will not allow her to be used as anyone's pawn, even as the Brotherhood sharpens its plans to cut out her heart.

As the destiny prophesied by her mother approaches, Kricket will backtrack through her fiery future to reshape it. For she knows one thing above all else: the only person she can truly count on is herself.

Amazing! This is my favourite book in the series (and I loved the first two).

Kyon finally has Kricket all to himself and is the only person who can keep her safe. His fierce loyalty to Kricket is in stark contrast to the betrayal and hurt that she has experienced by others. He is determined, ruthless yet protective, obsessive and totally in love with Kricket.

‘You belong to me. I won’t let you go – not ever.’ He’s in control, and he knows it. He needs me to know it too.
‘Maybe if you asked me to stay and if you were nice, I’d want to be here.’
‘I’m never nice.’

‘You make me want to beat the life out of you one moment, and in the next I ache to drag you to the beach and make love to you in the sand.’
‘Is there an option C?

Kricket is a smart, strong and compelling heroine – she lives by her own rules and will not be owned or controlled by anyone. She fears Kyon yet finds him fascinating, torn between the need to escape from him and the need to stay so that he can keep her safe. She uses her flashes of the future, her understanding of her enemies as well as all available resources to outsmart those that seek to kill her.

And what a conclusion! It was unpredictable and emotional yet satisfying.

The brilliant writing, incredible world building and skilful plot come together with the deep, engaging characters to create an emotional, adrenaline-rich ride.
