She only wished she could disappear too. Glancing behind her, she gauged the oncoming danger. The largest of the soldiers, the one in the lead, abruptly halted the others with a sharp upward slash of his black-gloved hand as he peered in her direction.
Oh, no.
He’d spotted her.
Although she couldn’t see his face beneath the black head covering and smudges of grease meant to further camouflage him in the dark, she felt the clash of his gaze as it slammed into hers across the distance. The force of that connection pushed her back on her heels. It zinged through her veins like a lick of lightning, making the fine hairs on her arms and at her nape stand on end.
He wasn’t human. Not Atlantean, either.
Breed. The longtime enemy of her people. The blood-drinking, lethal offspring of the savage otherworlders who nearly succeeded in wiping out all of Atlantis many millennia ago.
That unerring stare locked on to her, the immense warrior broke away from the rest of his group and started for her through the bracken.
Phaedra started running.
Without her amulet to fly her home, she had no other choice but to flee and pray she might be faster than the heavily armed soldier at her heels.
His boots crunched in the cinders and dead foliage on the ground behind her. Brittle branches snapped like gunfire as he crashed through them.
He was going to catch her; she had no doubt about that. What he meant to do with her once he had, she didn’t want to guess.
She ran harder, drawing on all the preternatural speed she could muster.
And still he kept coming. The chase pushed them deeper into the wasteland, the rest of the warrior’s companions far behind them now.
“Stop,” he called out to her, his deep voice tight with urgency.

Quel coup de cœur pour cet avant-dernier tome ! Cela faisait plus d'un an que je n'avais pas replongé dans cet univers que j'ai vraiment adoré et je dois dire que j'ai lu ce tome en à peine 24h.
Micah est le fils d'un des fondateurs de L'Ordre , Tegan et de sa compagne de Sang Élise. Lui-même membre de l'Ordre, il est missionné pour une enquête en Europe avec son équipe. Mais cette mission tourne mal... C'est pourtant là qu'il rencontre Phaedra.
Phaedra est une immortelle, une Atlante. Alors sa présence lors du fiasco de la mission n'est pas du tout du goût de Micah qui se montre très suspicieux et même un peu effronté.
Je ne saurai expliquer ce que j'ai ressenti si ce n'est que j'ai adoré ces deux personnages ainsi que leur caractère. L'histoire était prenante comme à chaque tome que je lis de cette saga et je n'arrive toujours pas à croire qu'il ne me reste plus qu'un tome avant de conclure définitivement la saga Minuit.

Tout d'abord
A ceux qui ont suivi cette saga je vous conseille de lire ce tome qui est l'avant dernier même en anglais. Cela vous permettra avec le suivant de finir le cycle.
C'est une jolie romance ou l'on retrouve Lucan et les autres avec plaisir.
La romance entre Micah et Phaedra est sympathique et nous avons plus d'explication au sujet des cristaux. L'Opus Nostrum est aussi plus actif que jamais.
A lire pour passer un bon moment

Résumé
Blood and destiny collide in Fall of Night, the newest action-packed, pulse-pounding novel in Lara Adrian's New York Times and #1 international bestselling Midnight Breed vampire romance series.
Breed warrior Micah is one of the Order's best, his reputation for cold justice and lethal skill rivaled only by that of his formidable father, Tegan. So, when a mission Micah's leading in an off-limits area called the Deadlands goes terribly wrong, leaving him the sole survivor of an apparent Atlantean attack, he won't rest until he has answers...and vengeance for his fallen team.
Phaedra thought it was only a dream, a hideous nightmare. Yet somehow, she had been transported from her life in Rome to a stretch of barren forest when it suddenly lit up with unearthly fire, obliterating everything in its path-including the fiercely handsome Breed warrior she'd encountered in the dream. Or so she believed, until their paths cross again and Phaedra finds herself, and her Atlantean people, at the center of Micah's wrath.
With tensions between the Breed and the Atlanteans already edging toward war, and another powerful nemesis growing bolder by the day, uncovering the stunning truth about what happened in the Deadlands will force Micah and Phaedra to work together in an alliance forged by fate and an undeniable desire neither of them can resist.
