A Deadly Game of Shifting Loyalties

Exiled from the communion of the Tremere Pyramid, Antigone Baines sheds the robes of her novitiate like a second and ill-fitting skin. In their place, she dons the Widow's Weeds—the formal mourning clothes, symbol of her solitary vigil over the restless dead. Alone she must unravel the riddle of the Conventicle, discover the identity of the prince's would be assassin, and carve out her own place along the treacherous precipice between the worlds of the quick and the dead.

Meanwhile, within the shelter of the Chantry of the Five Boroughs, Regent Aisling Sturbridge faces the fight of her unlife—a fight all the more deadly for the fact that her adversary is the very order that she is pledged to uphold. Faced with determined Inquisitors from the Fatherhouse in Vienna, Sturbridge finds herself standing trial for the Sins of the Father.

Here the haunting story that began in Widow's Walk unfolds like a flower of glass and flame. As Antigone and Sturbridge are about to discover, no one—no matter her station—is immune to its deadly caress.

Widow's Weeds, Tremere trilogy bk 2

Again Cathi Colas turns out a delightful performance, hitting beats reminiscent of Gillian Anderson in Thatcher mode and James Spader. Vampire politics is always complicated and the Tremere are even more so. Looking forward not to just part 3 of the trilogy, but the Tremere book in the Clan Novels series, also from Crossroad Press, which apparently is related to this trilogy. (I'd be looking forward to the Clan Novels but it's 13 books and I don't have *that* much free time.
