The concluding volume in the Naamah's trilogy, which is the
third cycle in Jacqueline Carey's New York Times Kushiel's
Legacy saga. The series completes with a fabulous,
explosive novel!
Returning to Terre d'Ange, Moirin finds the royal family
broken. Wracked by grief at the loss of Queen Jehanne, King
Daniel is unable to rule. Prince Thierry, the heir, is
believed dead after sailing to explore Terra Nova. And
3-year-old DesirÈe is like her mother: tempestuous,
intelligent and fiery, but desperately lonely, and a
vulnerable pawn in a game of shifting allegiances.
As tensions mount, King Daniel asks Moirin to be DesirÈe's
oath-sworn protector; but it is a vision revealed by the
spirit of Queen Jehanne that sends Moirin on a quest.
Prince Thierry is alive, and DesirÈe's only hope is to bring
the heir home to rule.
Another specter from the past haunts Moirin, as well.
Traveling with Thierry is Raphael de Mereliot, her
manipulative former lover. Years ago, Raphael forced her to
help him summon fallen angels in the hopes of acquiring
mystical gifts and knowledge. It was a disastrous effort
that nearly killed them, and Moirin must finally bear the
costs of her bitter mistakes.
