Evil is once again in the air as the dark storm comes to the land after thousands of years. It is Dax who awakes from his grave in the volcano after thousands of years. He was buried alive in that grave and now when he has reemerged he sees that he has changed into an entirely different creature for the people of the world. Even for his kind, he has turned into a dark creature which is not at all acceptable.
The world is seen from Dax’s eye in the novel and Christine Feehan has written the story in a way that the listener feels that Dax is left free by the author to express his view about the world. But there are some things which have remained the same for thousands of years and one of those things is the war between Dax and Mitro. Mitro too has come out of his grave at the same time and he is looking for Dax. The last time Mitro was on the ground he killed almost everyone including his family and the lovely Arabejila.
The two demons get ready for another fight and this makes Riley Parker’s life full of troubles. Riley is the last descendent of Arabejila that’s why the demons are coming for her. Whoever remains successful in getting Riley will win the battle this time. Characters are different in comparison with Shadow Storm and Shadow Rider.
The lust is a little less this time because Max and Mitro in most of the story remain busy settling the scores with each other. Erik Bergmann and Kristine Ryan get slow on different occasions because they were trying to match the pitch but this does not make the audio difficult to understand.
