In this installment of the bestselling Gunnie Rose series, sisters Lizbeth Rose and Felicia, as well as brother Eli and Peter, are reunited in Texoma--only to break apart before the Wizard's Ball held in San Diego, which will determine all their fates.

Lizbeth Rose is awaiting the arrival of her sister Felicia and her husband's younger brother Eli in Texoma. Both needed to leave the seat of the Holy Russian Empire in San Diego after Felicia's burgeoning wizardly power in death magic became the reason for kidnapping and assassination attempts from her mother's family of high-powered wizards in Mexico.

Yet bad news has traveled ahead of them, as Eli is called back to San Diego, taking Peter along with him, splitting them apart in more ways than one, as their enemies' plans for revenge come to fruition.

In this fifth installment in the beloved and bestselling Gunnie Rose series, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Charlaine Harris has crafted a family drama of murderous and magical thrills.
