We are happy to have Nalini Singh stopping by Smexy today to talk about her book that releases tomorrow, Shield of Winter. Sheena and I have had a sneak peek at this book and it’s really good! We’ll be posting our review tomorrow. Today, Nalini has some words about Arrows….
Arrows
Nalini Singh
I always knew I would one day write about the Arrow Squad, but I never expected what I would find when I peeled back the layers of these dangerous men and women.
To be an Arrow is to be a shadow, to live on the fringes of society. Arrows hunt the worst elements of the Psy race—the psychopaths and the serial killers, the depraved and the evil. Yet, as Ivy Jane says in Shield of Winter, for this they are pushed to the edges of society and looked upon with fear.
The Arrows themselves, however, see their shadow existence as inevitable—after all, they are deadly, should be feared.
On the other hand, they are aware their mandate was perverted by those they trusted. Their previous leadership took the squad’s incredible capacity for loyalty and squandered it in the pursuit of power.
It’ll take someone of incredible strength to break through the wall that now encases the squad, a wall that is ten times as strong in Vasic.
How does a woman reach a man who believes he is beyond redemption?
Well, when that woman is an empath, she simply refuses to accept that to be an Arrow is to walk always alone. Strength comes in many forms—and while Ivy Jane might never be able to take Vasic in a physical fight, her emotional core is made of steel. It’s a case of impenetrable Arrow black slamming up against immovable empathic will.
Game on.

I’ll give away a copy of Shield of Winter to one random commenter – print or digital, winner’s choice. I’ll pick a winner at noon tomorrow. Open to all.
So excited for this book. May need to.take a (cough) mental health day tomorrow
So looking forward to this book. Can’t wait! :)
Yay, can’t wait to read Shield of Winter and meet Vasic and Ivy! I love dark and dangerous heroes. I think it because they act alpha and wouldn’t take “no” as answer, yet they will respect their women, especially if those women have a strong willed. Some of my favorite dangerous heroes are created by you Ms Singh ;)
I can’t wait to read this book. I love this series!
I am so excited!!! This almost makes up for my five night shifts in six days! Thank goodness my day off falls where I will have enough time to devour Shield of Winter (and still get some sleep, I hope). I have already pre-ordered, so don’t enter me in the contest :)
Omg I cannot wait until I have this book in my hands! So excited! Crossing my fingers :)
Can’t wait for this week to end – then I’ll have one week at home to enjoy your new book.
Can’t wait for this book! I am ready to read about Vasic!
Hi, I think Vasic will be one of my favorite dark and dangerous heroes, thank you for the giveaway!
I loved Judd’s book, so I can’t wait to read Vasic’s! Although I really wanted Vasic and Aden to be a couple, lol!
This sounds really interesting. A friend of mine has been telling me to read Nalini for awhile now, and I can see why.
I would say Kaleb was my favorite dark and dangerous hero but who knows Vasic may change that.
Cannot wait to read Shield of Winter. Hope to read more about Sasha,Lucas Judd and the rest of the awesome cast of characters.
Can’t wait to read this book!! Love this series!!
While I am psyched about the romance, I’m interested in seeing how things play out after Kaleb’s revolution. Please randomly pick me. :)
I just started Heart of Obsidian, yes I’m behind, and am loving it. I love this world that Nalini Singh has given us.
Thanks for such a fun post!!! I’m just getting ready to dive into this series and I’m so excited :) Thanks for sharing!
Can’t wait to read this one!
I can’t wait to read this. I’ve been a fan of Vasic from the moment he was introduced.
This is such an awesome series! Really looking forward to this story! Thanks for the giveaway.
I’m so excited to read this!
Oh, I can’t wait to read this book! I’m loving each new twist in the series.
Enjoy,
TBQ
I met Nalini last week in Germany at the LoveletternConvention. She said that Bluebelle from her other series get a own book ! Yeah me ;)
Can´t wait for Vasic ..Loved the Teaser ..
I love a dark and dangerous hero and Kaleb is one of my all time favorites. Cant wait to see what happens next in the Psy world.
I usually like lighthearted guys, but Eden Winters’ Lucky is a smartaleck with major demons!
I want to read this so badly! I just love Vasic!
Love this series. D&D heroes are best when they have a shred of humanity at their core…it’s something about their view of the world that makes them richer more 3-dimensional than some other romance genre heroes.
Ohhhh I want it :D
I love dark heroes. Caleb is one of my favorites.
I’m planning my whole week around being to read this book!
Well, I’m new to this series, but what the heck, I always start series somewhere in the middle and have to go back and catch up!! This one looks awesome and I can’t wait to read it. Thanks for the chance.
I recently read Meredith Duran’s Fool Me Twice and the hero Alistair de Grey is dark and dangerous.
Can’t wait to read it!
THE ONLY BOOK MORE ANTICIPATED THAN THIS ONE WOULD BE ADEN’S STORY… CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE MAILMAN TO BRING ,E VASIC’S STORY!
I can’t wait to read Shield of Winter! This series keeps getting better and better!!
Thank you for the article! Can’t wait to read to read about Vasic! Have to say that my favorite dark heroes are from Anne Stuart novels, especially her ICE series…
I would love to win!!!!!!!!
I’ve been waiting for this book so long I’ve developed PRAD: pre-release anxiety disorder! :P PRAD has been so bad that I haven’t been able to read or think of any other books! Once diagnosed, there is no cure save to read the book. Then the symptoms go dormant like chicken pox; able to sneak up on you at any time.
In other words: I NEED THIS BOOK! :)
Dark and Dangerous? But of course! Some that come to mind are Zsadist from BDB, Lothaire from IAD, and Singh’s very own Kaleb Krychek.
I’ve been looking forward to learning more about the Arrows and Vasic in particular since Caressed by Ice.
It’s here at last! I love Caleb and Vasic!
My favorite romance author; I am so looking forward to reading this book. Probably a few dozen times.
Love dark and dangerous heroes, they are the best. They make the best heroes. I can’t wait to read Vasic’s story. Love the series and can’t wait to see the gang.
I have GOT to meet this lady one day!! GOT to,…..
Honestly? I haven’t read this series. But what I have been reading about it, and the generally positive comments I’ve seen, make it look really intriguing!
Exciting times!! I can’t wait to read Shield of Winter. I’ve been waiting to read Vasic’s story for a LONG time!
yes, BDB guys
Seriously! You guys are not even prepared for all the awesome that is Vasic and all the awesome that his mate turns out to be. I sure wasn’t!
Squeeeeeeeeedaaaaleeeee! I am re=reading my fav parts tomorrow so I can experience it all over again with everyone!
I can’t wait for this book and future books featuring Arrows as main characters!
I can’t wait to read Shield of Winter. I just re read Heart of Obsidian yesterday. Would love to win.
