Keira the Kelly Clan chief and Adam the vampire king heir to the Unseelie Court throne are hosting a blood-bonding ceremony with a hall filled with supporters. However her uninvited mother Branwen Ferch Arianrhod and her former lover Gideon who is Adam’s half-brother break up the gala. Also with them is Gideon’s pregnant wife Aoife heir to the Seelie Court throne. Mommy dearest hands a parchment to her daughter an ancient archaic Challenge.
The Dark Fae claim Kelly Clan land and have the backing of Gideon’s mother-in-law Seelie Queen Angharad; Adam’s father Unseelie High King Drystan and Keira’s great-great grandma Minerva support the couple. While gathering the forces in San Antonio to counter Gideon and his deadly allies, hell has broken loose in Keira’s home Rio Seco and Minerva has vanished. Keira believes odious slick Gideon is trying to crack her into breaking the blood rules of the Challenge.
The latest Bloodlines feud (see Matters of the Blood and Blood Bargain) takes several dark nasty twists in an enjoyable urban fantasy. Filled with action from the start, series readers will appreciate the spins as ritual Challenge makes for a terrific twisting taut thriller.
