The fourth and final installment of the vampire Lamia Zacharius series by Williamson. This book is not as well done as the first three. The plot drags as the author tries to bring forth one more story for his vibrant Vampire Queen but it just doesn't work like the other three. Like many sequels in other genres...this is a fine book but do not read it right after the first three or you will be disappointed.
