Description
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.
