Jane used to hunt vampires, but now she’s their queen. She’s holed up in the mountains with the Yellowrock Clan, enjoying a little peace, when a surprise attack on her people proves that trouble is brewing. Someone is using very old magic to launch a bid for power, and it’s all tied to the place where Jane was first drawn into the world of Leo Pellissier—the city of New Orleans.
Jane is compelled to return to NOLA because someone is trying to destabilize the paranormal world order. And because she now sits near the top of the vampire world, the assault is her problem. She will do what she must to protect what’s hers. Her city. Her people. Her power. Her crown.

Hunter’s gripping 14th installment to her bestselling Jane Yellowrock series (after Shattered Bonds) has the eponymous former hunter turned Dark Queen facing down rivals old and new—and even those previously presumed dead. Not everyone is content with Jane’s new position as reluctant ruler of vampires—which sees her reforming some of their crueler practices—and treacherous ancient forces conspire to usurp her throne. While struggling to control her now-unstable shape-shifting abilities and fending off repeated assassination attempts on her and those closest to her, Jane must make time to attend a dear friend’s New Orleans nuptials while ensuring the safety of everyone around her. Meanwhile, Bruiser, the love of her life, adapts to his new role as Consort and finally settles into a home with Jane. With twists aplenty to keep the pages turning as old secrets are unearthed, this fast-paced volume is a can’t miss for Hunter’s fans—and proves there’s plenty of life left in this long-running series. Agent: Lucienne Diver, the Knight Agency. -

In her 14th outing (after Shattered Bonds), Jane Yellowrock (the vampire hunter-turned-vampire queen of Cherokee descent) has healed from a near-death experience but is still having issues with her Beast form. As Dark Queen of the vampires, Jane must protect all the supernatural beings and the humans in her domain, so she's called into action to put an end to a spate of recent attacks on the vampires of her rural Yellowrock Clan in the mountains and the vampires in her old New Orleans stomping grounds. Old magic and secrets will be used against Jane in an attempt to take her down, but she is determined to defend her people and her power, no matter the cost. Jane has trouble balancing her leadership position with her drive to fight, but the possible return of a tenuous ally might take the situation out of Jane's hands/paws and make her face the reality of her future. VERDICT Hunter's latest installment in the long-running series raises the stakes, ups the action, and expands the world and characters in exciting ways.--Kristi Chadwick, Massachusetts Lib.
