Description

Laurell K. Hamilton has thrilled readers for thirty years with the darkly seductive world of vampire hunter Anita Blake. Now, in the landmark thirtieth installment of the number one New York Times bestselling series, Anita is preparing for a wedding like no other. But before she can say “I do,” she must overcome a challenge even more daunting than the supernatural enemies she’s battled.

As a necromancer and U.S. Marshal in the Preternatural Branch, Anita has fought terrifying monsters and ruthless killers, surviving against all odds. Still, she never expected her path to the altar with Jean-Claude to be easy. With opposition from those who disapprove of their union and the threat of an ancient, power-hungry evil looming, Anita already has her hands full. But now she must face something that truly scares her—introducing her fiercely religious and very human relatives to her fiancé, the newly crowned vampire king of America.

While Anita struggles to balance the family she was born into with the one she has chosen, dangerous forces seize the opportunity to strike. As the chaos threatens her future and the souls of those she loves, Anita is forced to confront a harsh reality: Blood may determine lineage, but true family is built on loyalty.
