A conclusion to the urban fantasy series set in post-Katrina New Orleans finds former wizard sentinel DJ Jaco struggling to keep the elven leader, Quin Randolph, focused on peace while rival princes battle for power in the leaderless Faerie world.

The wizard-elven treaty is on the verge of collapse, and the preternatural world stands on the brink of war. Former wizard sentinel DJ Jaco needs to keep the elven leader, Quince Randolph, focused on peace and not personal matters. Faerie is in chaos, still-undead pirate Jean Lafitte, is building his own army of misfits, and DJ-- stripped of her job and hiding in the Beyond to avoid the death sentence handed down by the wizard Council of Elders-- can't get anywhere near her beloved New Orleans.

Summary

Suzanne Johnson's "strong and intriguing" ( Publishers Weekly ) urban fantasy series continues with Belle Chasse . The Sentinels of New Orleans series has earned starred reviews from Library Journal ("a resourceful heroine who relies on her magical ingenuity") and PW ("vivid...a lively tale jam-packed with action, magic, and intriguing plot twists").

With the wizard-elven treaty on the verge of collapse, the preternatural world stands on the brink of war. Unless former wizard sentinel DJ Jaco manages to keep the elven leader, Quince Randolph, focused on peace and not personal matters.

With no one on the throne, Faerie is in chaos, with rival princes battling for power. The still-undead pirate, Jean Lafitte, is building his own army of misfits, and DJ--stripped of her job and hiding in the Beyond to avoid the death sentence handed down by the wizard Council of Elders--can't get anywhere near her beloved New Orleans or her significant something-or-other, Alex.

It's time to choose sides. Friends will become enemies, enemies will become allies, and not everyone will survive. DJ and her friends will learn a hard lesson: sometimes, even the ultimate sacrifice isn't enough.

Library Journal Review

Former wizard sentinel DJ Jaco is on the run from the death sentence handed down by the Wizard Council of Elders. Hiding in the Beyond with undead pirate Jean Lafitte and his crew, DJ seeks to clear her name and prevent the wizard/elven treaty from falling apart. This is not easy, as DJ's best friend Eugenie is pregnant with elven leader Quince Randolph's child, and DJ is Rand's bondmate. With Rand wanting control over Eugenie and their child, rival princes warring for the Faerie throne, and a truce about to crumble, DJ and her friends will be forced to take sides. The cost will be huge, for everyone. New Orleans is a vividly drawn setting in this series, headed by a caring and captivating female wizard. Verdict Award winner Johnson (Royal Street; River Road) populates her story with a wide array of paranormal species, keeping the action tight and fast throughout this lively urban fantasy.-KC © Copyright 2016.
