After the death of Queen Orlagh, the once Seelie Queen of faeries, and her evil henchman King Eldon, king of Zoanthia, trouble brews in the faery realm. While the Seelie and Unseelie courts struggle for peace under the new rule, a monstrous faery takes control of Zoanthia. Colleen O’Brien, High Priestess of the New Orleans witches, is fed up with faeries threatening her city. Her friends defeated the key players. Life should be back to normal. Yet, the good times haven’t started to roll. Instead, humans and fae are captured and killed all over the city as the vampires reestablish their government, and fearful witches punish innocents. Colleen must do what she can to establish peace for her friends, New Orleans, and the faeries in Elfrice. But must she do it with Niz, the rakish, insufferable nix that has been a thorn in her side for almost twenty years?
