A new darkness is rising in Belterra.

Six months have passed since Célie took her sacred vows and joined the ranks of the Chasseurs as their first huntswoman. With her fiancé, Jean Luc, as captain, she is determined to find her foothold in her new role and help protect Belterra. But whispers from her past still haunt her, and a new evil is rising—one that Célie herself must vanquish, unless she falls prey to the darkness.

Célie is infuriated when Jean Luc sidelines her from the hunt for a serial killer who exsanguinates his victims, most of whom aren’t human. Determined to launch her own investigation, she visits one of the crime scenes, where a case of mistaken identity results in her abduction to Requiem, a hidden isle home to an array of mystical beings that’s ruled by a ruthless vampire king.

“The world-building’s reliance on details from the original trilogy is likely to confuse newcomers. Still, horror-inflected action, puckish humor, and heady romance enliven both the twisty central mystery and Célie’s journey of self-discovery. Main characters cue as white; the supporting cast is diverse. Ages 14–up.”—PW
