Following the murderous events of the “gripping…thrill-ride” (Karin Slaughter) Serpent of Heaven, Lizbeth Rose is awaiting the arrival of her sister Felicia and her husband’s younger brother Eli in Texoma. Both needed to leave the seat of the Holy Russian Empire in San Diego after Felicia’s burgeoning wizardly power in death magic became the reason for kidnapping and assassination attempts from her mother’s family of high-powered wizards in Mexico.
Yet bad news has traveled ahead of them, as Eli is called back to San Diego, taking Peter along with him, splitting them apart in more ways than one as their enemies’ plans for revenge come to fruition. In this fifth installment in the beloved and bestselling Gunnie Rose series, #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Charlaine Harris has crafted a family drama of murderous and magical thrills.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Harris's action-packed fifth Gunnie Rose alternate history (after The Serpent in Heaven) proves what a powerful force newly reunited sisters Lizbeth and Felicia are when working together. Shortly after Felicia arrives in Texoma to visit her gunslinger sister, Lizbeth's new husband, Eli, mysteriously takes off with his brother, Peter. Lizbeth is sure Eli has left her forever, their quiet new life not enough for him. Felicia extends her visit to support her sister, and suitors soon flock to her, trying to win her hand before the fast-approaching Wizards' Ball, where powerful marriage alliances are arranged. After one of these suitors attacks Lizbeth, however, the sisters realize there's more to their visitors than meets the eye. With an unknown militia also trying to take over the town, Lizbeth and Felicia forge a closer relationship as they take on their many enemies together. Harris keeps things close to home and dials in on her heroines' relationship without sacrificing any of the high-octane action the series is known for. The result may be the best Gunnie Rose adventure yet.
Customer Reviews
Enjoying the series!
Another fun book in the series! This is such a unique series and really entertaining. The start of the show is Lizbeth. She's a very young, independent woman who has a very dangerous job as a gunnie. She's hired out for odd jobs protecting what or who needs protecting in their transport. Now think back into the old western days. There are cars, but rare and expensive. Most transport is by horse and buggy. But this old western world has magic. It truly is one of the most uniquest series I've read and the biggest draw for me is Lisbeth. I am such a fan of girl power, so when I find a series where the main hero is the woman, I'm all in. What I like even more is when these women are good people with good morals, who are loyal and brave, and just kicks butt. That's what you get with Lizbeth. I'm truly looking forward to more in the series.
