Remy Pendergast, vampire hunter, and his unexpected companions, royal vampires Lord Zidan Malekh and Lady Xiaodan Song, are on the road through the kingdom of Aluria again after a hard-won first battle against the formidable Night Empress, who threatens to undo a fragile peace between humans and vampires. Xiaodan, severely injured, has lost her powers to vanquish the enemy's new superbreed of vampire, but if the trio can make it to Fata Morgana, the seat of Malehk's court—dubbed "the Court of Wanderers"—there is hope of nursing her and bringing them back.
En-route to the Third Court, Remy crosses paths with his father, the arrogant, oftentimes cruel Lord of Valenbonne. He also begins to suffer strange dreams of the Night Empress, whom he has long suspected to be Ligaya Pendergast, his own mother. As his family history unfolds during these episodes, which are too realistic to be coincidence, he realizes that she is no ordinary vampire—and that he may end up having to choose between the respective legacies of his parents.
Posing as Malek and Xiaodan's human familiar, Remy contends with Aluria's intimidating vampire courts and a series of gruesome murders with their help—and more, as the three navigate their relationship. But those feelings and even their extraordinary collective strength will be put to the test as each of them unleashes new powers in combat at what may be prove to be the ultimate cost.

Chupeco ups the ante in their spellbinding sequel to Silver Under Nightfall. Following a triumphant first battle with the malevolent Night Empress, the polyamorous trio of Lord Remington “Remy” Pendergast and vampire nobles Zidan Malekh and Xiaodan Song makes their way to Zidan’s court in Fata Morgana. There, the eight vampiric courts that make up the Allpriory, the vampire-governing body, convene with the aim to install Zidan—against his wishes—as the Allpriory’s new leader, hoping his rule will unite all vampires to defeat the Night Empress. The assembly is interrupted, however, by a mysterious attacker, leading to a clever plot twist that’s best left unspoiled. Far more political than the series opener, the narrative this time out revolves around thorny court intrigue as the vampire nobles, despite biting off more than they can swallow, band together against their common enemy and unravel the mystery of the Night Empress’s true identity. Meanwhile, steamy scenes and a dense exploration of vampire-human relationship dynamics add edge as the queer trio’s romance grows deeper than mere infatuation. This keeps the series going strong. Agent: Rebecca Podos, Reese Literary. -
