Overview

The completion of the Strange Path on the night streets of Seattle has made Whiskey a formidable Sanguire. As she embraces her rising power she equally pushes away the whispers of prophecy. Some believe that Whiskey is the reincarnation of their lost Queen Elisibet.

Whiskey might come to believe it—she dreams through Elisibet’s eyes. Those dreams are dominated by the cruel and terrible Valmont, former friend and ally of the lost queen, and also Elisibet's assassin. Whiskey grew up on the streets. She is no fool. She knows if she were Valmont, she’d be looking to silence the upstart who threatens his power and gives hope to his enemies.

Battle lines are being drawn. In spite of all that she has learned and the undoubted power she can wield, Whiskey must decide if she wants any part of a Sanguire civil war.
