4 3/4 stars.I am always delighted when I see a new Elder Races tale and always anxiously await the next in the series.  Everything gets pushed aside while I devour and am enthralled by each title and this was no exception.  This was a great glimpse into the Dark Fae society with enjoyable cameos by Queen Niniane and her consort Tiago as we get a more thorough picture of Chancellor Aubrey Riordan.  The exquisite blending of action and romance seasoned with the hint of the exotic inherent in the nature of the beings being described and the mysterious deck of Tarot cards makes this yet another fantastic read in the series.  Xanthe was introduced in the preceding novella, "Devil's Gate" and this story about her experiences with the intriguing Tarot cards which facilitate her interaction with the alluring Chancellor is another wonderful addition to an imaginative series.  I am saddened that this is apparently the last of the novellas in this story arc and hopeful that we will see all of these characters in subsequent tales.
