The Shadows (Black Dagger Brotherhood)

Two brothers bound by more than blood fight to change a brutal destiny in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Sold by his parents to the Queen of the s'Hisbe as a child, Trez escaped the Territory and has been a pimp and an enforcer for years. On the run from a destiny of sexual servitude, he's never been able to rely on anyone...except for his brother, iAm.

iAm's sole goal has always been to keep his brother from self-destructing--and he knows he's failed. It's not until the Chosen Selena enters Trez's life that the male begins to turn things around...but by then, it's too late. The pledge to mate the Queen's daughter comes due, and there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no negotiating.

Now Trez must decide whether to endanger himself and others--or abandon the female he loves. When tragedy strikes and changes everything, iAm, in the name of brotherly love, is faced with making the ultimate sacrifice...
