This has been the longest six weeks ever! Ever since I read in the back of Queen of Darkness (HCN #12) Syd's demonic grandmother was going to die I've been waiting for this book!And Boy does it pack a punch!We're off to a mind-blowing start when Syd is framed for her grandmother's murder and for all you HCN fans reading this you know what the death of the Ruler means for Syd's dad. OMG! Harry's first duty as the new ruler is to prosecute his own daughter and when found guilty the punishment Syd will be stripped of her powers and put to death!Syd faces attacks on her life. She is not safe in her prison cell. Nor is she certain she can trust the rebels who abduct her from it. They're agenda is after all to create civil war. Syd also has the small matter of a death pledge and her grandmothers dying words.Super-Syd chasing all over the demon planes tracking the one who killed her grandmother, evading her father's guards, and having the hots for the only person who seems to want to help her has me on the edge of my seat, giggling at the amusing banter with demon boy who Syd could eat alive if she chose to, and up half the night until I'd finished reading it.Another must buy! I absolutely adore this series :-)
