Nyx gets her first real lead when a chance event reveals clues about her missing sister's location. The glymera's secret prison camp vanished after the raids, but Nyx believes her sister remains trapped somewhere in its underground maze. She descends into the earth and discovers the truth about what happened. There she meets the Jackal, a prisoner who has spent so long in captivity that memories of his former life have faded completely. He finds himself compelled to help Nyx despite the danger. When Nyx learns her sister's fate, she and the Jackal must plan a deadly escape from the subterranean labyrinth. Their growing attraction complicates everything, especially since they face separation forever. The Black Dagger Brotherhood joins the rescue mission when Rhage realizes his half-brother was wrongly imprisoned. Meanwhile, the camp's warden schemes to kill them all, including the Brothers themselves.
