'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 to her alternate history of the United States where magic is an acknowledged but despised power in this fifth installment of the Gunnie Rose series.
Following the murderous events of The 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 travelled 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 . . .
Love The Walking Dead, Westworld or True Blood? You will ADORE this gritty and wildly entertaining tale, set in a parallel reality of the United States where magic is an outlawed power.

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.
