I felt for her with everything she has gone through and continues to go through in the book. She’s more the damsel in distress since she’s been held captive most of her life thanks to Neha. Mahiya is not a kick-butt heroine like Honor or Elena in the previous books. Jason will find out why when he is trying to find the murderer of Neha’s consort. Jason knows right away that Mahiya has secrets, especially with how Neha treats her. Mahiya is more of a captive that wants to be freed of Neha’s rule. Princess Mahiya is Neha’s last remaining bloodline, but unfortunately, she’s not loved by Neha. Jason knows he will have to gain her trust somehow and agrees to a blood bond oath with one of Neha’s bloodline. She blames Raphael for what happened to her daughter, and Raphael knows that Neha could make his Spymaster’s life difficult in India because of it. Neha is the Archangel of India, and she has been unstable since she lost her daughter.

In the fifth novel of the Guild Hunter series, Jason is sent to India to assist with finding out who murdered Neha’s consort. He is one of Raphael’s Seven, and he tends to keep to the shadows. Although, I could tell from the beginning that he takes his job seriously and is not all about finding love. I wanted to know more about his character and find out who he would end up within the series.

Jason has been a mystery since he was introduced to the series. I finally got a chance to read Archangel’s Storm by Nalini Singh, which happens to be the Spymaster’s (Jason) story. With only their relentless hunt for a violent, intelligent killer to unite them, Jason and Mahiya embark on a quest that leads to a centuries-old nightmare… and to the dark storm of an unexpected passion that threatens to drench them both in blood. But now, with the Archangel Neha’s consort lying murdered in the jewel-studded palace that was his prison and her rage threatening cataclysmic devastation, Jason steps into the light, knowing he must unearth the murderer before it is too late.Įarning Neha’s trust comes at a price-Jason must tie himself to her bloodline through the Princess Mahiya, a woman with secrets so dangerous, she trusts no one. With wings of midnight and an affinity for shadows, Jason courts darkness. Published by Berkley on September 4, 2012Įnter New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s darkly beautiful world of archangels and immortal power, as a pact is sealed between two souls bound by blood, stirred by desire, and driven by vengeance…
