Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Richelle Mead returns to the Otherworld, a mystic land inextricably linked to our own—and balanced precariously on one woman's desperate courage . . .

Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham strives to keep the mortal realm safe from trespassing entities. But as the Thorn Land's prophecy-haunted queen, there's no refuge for her and her soon-to-be-born children when a mysterious blight begins to devastate the Otherworld . . .

The spell-driven source of the blight isn't the only challenge to Eugenie's instincts. Fairy king Dorian is sacrificing everything to help, but Eugenie can't trust the synergy drawing them back together. The uneasy truce between her and her shape shifter ex-lover Kiyo is endangered by secrets he can't—or won't—reveal. And as a formidable force rises to also threaten the human world, Eugenie must use her own cursed fate as a weapon—and risk the ultimate sacrifice.

Goodreads review by Wendy Darling on December 06, 2011

3.5 stars Oh Eugenie, Eugenie, Eugenie. Throughout all four of the Dark Swan books, I feel like you could have used a good girlfriend you could call whenever you had the urge to do something silly. Unfortunately, you didn't have my number, and as much as I've enjoyed your company, I still have to fi......more

Why do I do this to myself? Kiyo better die in this one! Finally a cover! Did you read the blurb? The uneasy truce between her and her shape shifter ex-lover Kiyo is endangered by secrets he can't--or won't--reveal. What uneasy truce???? 3 - 3.5 stars - Not what I expected after seeing a lot of revie......more

*** 3.44 *** A buddy read with my Wednesday UF fanatics at BB&B! This book was not bad. It was well written, it had a good plot, the pacing was a bit slow in the beginning, but it did pick up eventually, and was even logical in its own, entirely unsatisfactory way.... It was not bad, but it was not w......more

Goodreads review by Robin on September 16, 2016

Ugh….there was so much potential and then…..and then Okay so I loved…LOVED….loved the Georgina Kincaid Succubus Blues series. It was six books and an emotional rollercoaster and the ending was pretty perfect. There weren’t HEAs for everyone but I really liked how it all sorted out in the end. So I we......more
