An excellent mix of the major characters. All of them with substantial contributions to the story; Lily/Rule, Benedict and his new chosen Arjenie, Isen, Cullen/Cynna. You meet the other Lu Nuncios and learn more about another race (a new one :).

This is a banquet of characters in a world that's already becoming one of my favorites in fiction. They're smart, clever and sometimes devious; sexy and sometimes charming; loyal beyond expectation (mostly) true to their word - refreshingly three-dimensional. Wilks builds honest tension by putting her characters at risk and giving them (in this fictional world) believable reasons for their actions. I'm on the edge of my seat worried about my favorite peeps, knowing they could be hurt or killed at any moment. It makes for exciting reading. Whatever Wilks decides for these people, I'll be rooting all the way through. These characters are hard to forget once the book has been read.

Is it possible this is my favorite of the seven Lupi novels when the others are so good? I won't give anything away but the last sentence...wow. I cannot wait to find out what happens next. I'm hooked on this series!
