Widow's Weeds

Clan Tremere Trilogy #2

by Eric Griffin, John Van Fleet

Exiled from the communion of the Tremere Pyramid, Antigone Baines sheds the robes of her novitiate like a second and ill-fitting skin. In their place, she dons the Widow's Weeds-the formal mourning clothes, symbol of her solitary vigil over the restless dead. Alone she must unravel the riddle of the Conventicle, discover the identity of the prince's would-be assassin, and carve out her own place along the treacherous precipice between the worlds of the quick and the dead.

Meanwhile, within the shelter of the Chantry of Five Boroughs, Regent Aisling Sturbridge faces the fight of her unlife-a fight all the more deadly for the fact that her adversary is the very order that she is pledged to uphold. Faced with determined Inquisitors from the Fatherhouse in Vienna, Sturbridge finds herself standing trial for the Sins of the Father.

If you made it this far I'm BEGGING you to stop. This one picks up more with better developments, but they fail to reach fruition by the last.

Druga część trylogii. Akcja jakby nieco przyspieszyła w stosunku do części poprzedniej. Możemy tu też zobaczyć więcej Tremere i to w takich bardziej ludzkich odmianach, przedstawionych nie tylko jako knujące i spiskujące wampiry. Przyznam, że czytało się to dość ciekawie.
