At the end of the book, Saint Dane impales Loor. Bobby avenges her by stabbing Saint Dane with his own weapon; but the demon revives and escapes. Bobby then resurrects Loor.

In the end she finally revealed her love for him in some way, by saying she would have kissed him that day in the rain, a reference to events in "The Rivers of Zadaa".
