It’s not easy serving the Chernobog, the God of Destruction, Darkness and Death…especially during the holidays; and especially when you’re out of eggnog and one of your pesky, freeloading mythic creatures has eaten your last cookie.
Roman would like nothing more than to be left alone, but when a wounded boy stumbles into his yard and begs for sanctuary, Roman takes him in. Now elite mercenaries are camped out on his property, combat mages are dousing the house with fire, and strange priests are unleashing arcane magic. They thought Roman was easy pickings, just a hermit in the woods, but they chose the wrong dark priest to annoy. For while Roman might be patient, he is the Black Volhv, filled with the love of his terrible god. For his adversaries, it's a fight to the death, but for him, it's just another day in the neighborhood.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
If you are familiar with the world of Kate Daniels, you will recognize Roman! A beloved character throughout the series, I was thrilled to see him get his own book. In his story, Roman finds himself giving sanctuary to a young boy who is running from elite mercenaries. The mercenaries who then thought it was a great idea to attack his home and try to get the boy when Roman refused to give him up. Well, they are in for a rude awakening. For he is the Black Volhv and very powerful. As Roman protects the boy he will learn there is more to him than meets the eye. And everyone should be ready for the fight that is coming. Roman is definitely one of the best characters in this world. He is hilarious and sarcastic and so intriguing. I was glad to get to know him just a bit more in this story. It’s always fun diving back into this world with the different types of magic that comes across the pages. You never know what our heroes will face whenever someone comes to their doorstep. Another great book in this world!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review
