Synopsis

In this gripping follow-up to Melissa Marr’s lush Seven Black Diamonds, Lily and her friends are forced to reckon with the truth of their own lineage and to protect one of their own, no matter what—or who—comes between them.Now that Lilywhite Abernathy is the heir to the Hidden Lands, everything is about to change.The Queen of Blood and Rage wants Lily to help broker peace with the human world, but Lily knows that harmony won’t come easily. After decades of waging war on the humans, who cost the queen her firstborn daughter, the fae are struggling to accept Lily, a half-human monarch. And the humans, while no match against faery affinities, will hardly agree to the queen’s détente without resistance.Lily wants to be a fair ruler but fears having to abandon the life she’s known. Now that she and Creed are more than just fellow Black Diamonds—operatives for the queen—her priorities have shifted. But her worries about assuming the throne are derailed when it becomes clear that someone—or some fae—is masterminding violent attacks to discourage peace. Who can end the war between humans and fae?

Seven Black Diamonds'a bir kitap daha gelse, bu bir üçleme olsa, tadından yenmez. Bu haliyle One Blood Ruby çok fazla açık kapı bırakmış, bence Melissa Marr, istese bir kitap daha yazabilir ve tuhaf durmaz. Hatta, umarım bir kitap daha yazar ki bazı şeyler daha net bir sona kavuşur. "Thisfae man......more

Sloppy. So sloppy. What kind of ending was that? It's entirely too predictable. The book picks off from when the first book ended. And it gets more confusing because 1) it's been a while since you read the first book, and the introduction doesn't really recap what happened before 2) it's. so. damn. v......more
