A follow-up to the best-selling Serpent & Dove finds fugitives Lou, Reid, Coco and Ansel splitting up to recruit allies against the Dames Blanches, an effort that is complicated by Morgane's lethal game of cat and mouse. Together Lou and Reid are sure they would be able to conquer anything. But Morgane has baited them into a lethal game of cat and mouse; they are pursued on all sides by coven, kingdom, and church. With time and luck running out, they are forced to turn to La Voisin-- Queen of the Dames Rouges and sworn enemy of Lou's coven. Lou and Reid are bound as one for the rest of their days-- but death comes for us all. -- adapted from jacket
