Publisher Description
Jane Yellowrock has her hands full in the latest novel in the New York Times bestselling series that captures “the essence of urban fantasy” (SF Site).
Slaying vampires is child’s play for skinwalker Jane Yellowrock. But handling the complicated politics of New Orleans’ supernatural players is another story...
Jane is keeping the peace between visiting groups of witches and vamps in the city, but then trouble comes knocking on her doorstep. When her house is magically attacked, the wild chase to find her assailants unearths a mystery that has literally been buried deep.
A missing master vampire, presumed long deceased, is found chained in a pit...undead, raving mad, and in the company of two human bodies. Now it’s up to Jane to find out who kept the vampire hidden for so long and why, because the incident could tip already high supernatural tensions to an all-out arcane war.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jane Yellowrock skinwalker, vampire hunter, and now Enforcer for Leo Pellissier, Master of the City of New Orleans returns in the fast-paced 10th installment (following Dark Heir) of Hunter's popular urban fantasy series. A Witch Conclave has been called to improve vampire-witch relations. Jane and her team are preparing to handle security for the gathering, but two witches are trying to throw a wrench into their plans. When a vampire believed to be a missing Blood Master is found in a pit, starved, chained, and insane, new questions emerge, and Jane and those dear to her may be in danger. A complicated, layered plot doesn't make this a good starting point for new readers, but fans will be ecstatic to see old friends, including witch Molly and her family, and thrilled that Jane is finally finding romance after so much heartbreak. Jane is a fully realized, complicated woman; her power, humanity, and vulnerability make her a compelling heroine. The fight scenes are exciting and the New Orleans setting is absorbing, but it's the ever-evolving bond between Jane and her Beast personality that keeps this fun series fresh.
