Publisher's Synopsis
With two coronations to attend, you'd think the universe would stop piling catastrophes on top of Louella Eschete, but you'd be dead wrong. As she prepares to ascend two thrones, one as Lady of the Cortez Vampire Court and the other as Matriarch of the Eschete Witches, she must face a new evil. Just when Lou is ready to stab a seamstress with a hat pin, murder and strange occurrences begin to happen around her city. Stolen corpses in the cemetery, decapitated astronomers, and hearts taken from nursing homes is odd, even for Louisiana. There is no rhyme or reason to the carnage, but the sigil left behind at a scene points to something ancient. It's a race against the clock for humanity. There'll be nothing to rule if everyone's dead.
