When her daughter becomes the vessel of an evil force that threatens to destroy France, Madame de Pompadour, the king’s beloved, faces a choice between family and country. But the decision she makes has dreadful consequences, unleashing a powerful being so deadly that only one champion can stop it: the Chevalier d’Eon!
Another amazing book and with a cliffhanger to boot! Guess I will be reading the next (and last) volume in a bit because I need to know how this ends! IN this one Madame makes a big mistake (though I could also kind of understand why she decided on this... but I wished she had thought it through just a tad more), even the church isn't safe it seems and I was shocked that such a sweet looking man was Satan's puppet (I am sorry, but I would call him that given all he does in this volume and what he has as daemons). A lot is happening again and tons of action as well. I loved the addition of the sins though holy crap, you can kill the entire world then because as Lia said, no one is without sin (and this also reminds me of a bible quote: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”). I need to continue reading!!!
This is the true ending of this arc. This is the second time I am reading this book, and I loved everything about this. The characters, the suspense, even the plot. The way this book ended was great, and the eighth book does not exist in my world. This and the Arcana Chronicles usage of the tarot cards have always been my favorites.
