Book description
Betrayed by her longtime vampire love, and with a new man - a
shapeshifter - in her life, Sookie's got quite enough to deal with
without having to contend with the long-awaited vampire summit . .
.Sookie's beginning to get used to being surrounded by all varieties of
undead, changeling, shapeshifting and other supernatural beings - but
even she has her limits. She'd really like to take a while to get over
being betrayed by Bill, her long-time vampire lover, and get used to her
new relationship with the sexy shapeshifter Quinn - but instead, she
finds herself attending the long-planned vampire summit, the destination
of choice for every undead power player around, as a sort-of human
'Geiger counter' for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of Louisiana.
But the job is fraught with difficulties. Sophie-Anne's power base has
been severely weakened by Hurricane Katrina, and she's about to be put
on trial during the event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the queen
is innocent, but she's hardly prepared for other shocking murders: it
looks like there are some vamps who would like to finish what nature
started. With secret alliances and backroom deals the order of the day -
and night - Sookie must decide which side she'll stand with, and
quickly, for her choice may mean the difference between survival and
all-out catastrophe.
