Shards of Hope by Nalini Singh is the 14th novel in her Psy-Changling Series. With so many books in this series this series I’ll try to sing this book’s praises without giving away too much about the overall series, which I highly recommend. If you’re interested in my review of the book 1 in the series – check it out here!
Nalini Sighn is truly a master at her craft and I had the honor of hearing her speak at the Romance Writer’s of America Conference last month. She is as humble and inspiring as her writing. Her characters are rich and complex. This is one of her two main series, and the other – Guild Hunter Series – is an equally remarkable series to immerse yourself in.
But let us enter the cold, cold world of the Black Arrows… they are Psy Warriors, the long arm of justice in the new order of their world. Because of the brutality of their Image may be NSFW.

psychic abilities they have been ostracized from their own families and their people as children. Without special, and often violent, ruthless training, the fear is that this group of Psy’s will become serial killers with far too much power to stop them. And so they have embraced a training protocol – Silence – designed to obliterate emotion and hold psychic ability under tight control.
In Shards of Hope, Aden, the leader of the Black Arrows, and one of his top commanders, Zaria, are kidnapped, a feat not many could achieve. As they struggle for their own survival they find sanctuary with a newly formed Changeling pack that show them what family is supposed to be, and how love, affection, and emotion can make them stronger.
This is simply a wonderful, somewhat emotional read, as so many of the books in this series are. Not only is this a fast-paced mystery with incredibly high stakes, it also emphasizes the power of strong and enduring family bonds and the building of communities and families out of choice and circumstance. A top notch story!
