Descripción editorial
'Immersive, involving, suspenseful, and intriguing, with a main character you'll love' LEE CHILD
No.1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Charlaine Harris returns with the sixth and final instalment in the critically acclaimed Gunnie Rose series as sisters Lizbeth Rose and Felicia must face their fates at the last Wizards' Ball.
Lizbeth Rose's sister Felicia attends the Grand Wizards' Ball, and as one of the most powerful - and beautiful - death wizards in a generation, she is highly sought after as one of the belles of the ball.
However, war and violence are on the rise in Europe as German and Japanese wizards are also courting Felicia . . . and some are refusing to take no for an answer.
As the façade of genteel wizard society turns deadly, Lizbeth must learn to not only protect her sister, but also navigate the arcane world that is pulling her sister and husband into a dangerous dance with death that could change the world as they know it.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Harris's spellbinding final Gunnie Rose alternate history (after All the Dead Shall Weep) brings gunslinging heroine Lizbeth and her husband, Eli, to 1930s San Diego to watch over Lizbeth's sister, Felicia, as she attends the Wizards' Ball. An elite event held every three years, the ball brings together eligible grigoris, or magic users, looking to marry, and Felicia's power makes her one of the most sought-after—but she's also a target for someone that doesn't want her to make it through the week. As Lizbeth, Eli, and their allies work to unveil who's after Felicia, they all face major personal changes, and a growing global threat as Hitler comes to power in Germany. Far from the comfort of her home in Texoma, one of many new countries formed after the fracturing of the United States, and in a place where her weapon of choice is forbidden, Lizbeth encounters challenges that lead her character in a surprising new direction. Harris centers this satisfying conclusion on the power of women, as Lizbeth and Felicia fully embrace their strength. Series fans will not be disappointed.
