In NIGHT VISION, book four in the Indigo Court
series Cecily, Wind witch and soon-to-be-crowned Fae Queen
of Winter and her cousin Rhiannon, soon-to-be-crowned Fae
Queen of Summer have a number of obstacles and challenges
between them and the ultimate goals, taking their rightful
places and marrying their loves in ancient ceremony.
Although the back cover blurb might lead you to believe this
might just be the finale, enough tantalizing threads are
left to hint at future conflicts, and a fifth book (Night's
End, July 2014) to come.
Yasmine Galenorn's various series remind me of the Dark
Shadow's serial television show, the current book in the
series depends heavily on events in previous books, with
NIGHT VISION no exception. This is definitely a book you
should tackle in series order, rather than as a stand-alone.
That being said, provided you have a familiarity with the
characters and history NIGHT VISION is a wonderful urban
fantasy, wending through our modern world and the world of
Faery as seen by Yasmine Galenorn's vivid and complex
imagination.
Eons ago, vampires tried to turn the dark Fae in order to
harness their magic, only to create a demonic enemy more
powerful than they could have imagined. Now, even with Myst,
the Queen of the Indigo Court, temporarily out of action,
the new Queens of the Golden Wood find themselves facing
incredible danger…
Destined to become the Fae Queens of Winter and Summer, Wind
Witch Cicely and her cousin, Rhiannon, are eager to assume
their roles and marry the loves of their lives. But while
Myst hides in the shadows, seeking to regroup her forces,
another danger is lurking closer. Renegade vampires Geoffrey
and Leo manage to free the Blood Oracle and set him upon New
Forest, Washington. Not satisfied with wreaking havoc on the
town, Leo ups the ante by kidnapping Rhiannon. Now, Cicely
must lead her forces in a bloody battle to save her cousin
before everything they’ve worked for crumbles to dust.
