Publisher Description
Returning to Terre d'Ange, Moirin finds the royal family broken. Wracked by unrelenting grief at the loss of his wife, Queen Jehanne, King Daniel is unable to rule. Prince Thierry, leading an expedition to explore the deadly jungles of Terra Nova, is halfway across the world. And three-year-old Desirée is a vision of her mother: tempestuous, intelligent, and fiery, but desperately lonely and a vulnerable pawn in a game of shifting political allegiances.
As tensions mount, King Daniel asks that Moirin become Desirée's oath-sworn protector. Navigating the intricate political landscape of the Court proves a difficult challenge, and when dire news arrives from overseas, the spirit of Queen Jehanne visits Moirin in a dream and bids her undertake an impossible quest.
Another specter from the past also haunts Moirin. Travelling with Thierry in the New World is Raphael de Mereliot, her manipulative former lover. Years ago, Raphael forced her to help him summon fallen angels in the hopes of acquiring mystical gifts and knowledge. It was a disastrous effort that nearly killed them, and Moirin must finally bear the costs of those bitter mistakes.

"It was an enjoyable end to the series, but it was nowhere near as interesting as the last 2 trilogies. I would recommend the first 6 books to friends, but not necessarily this last series. Although I enjoyed them, I feel that they are very different than the first trilogy set."
— Lauren (4 out of 5 stars)

Carey's fans will enjoy the straightforward heroics and plotting after the previous volume's heavy angst.

Naamah's Blessing Listener Reviews

" I couldn't even finish this. Just didn't care for this character at all. No pathos or anything. Loved Phaedre and Imriel much more. "
— Anna, 2/11/2014 -
" I always enjoy Carey's books, and like always, this one was a good read. It was fun, suspenseful, and fast paced. That being said, I didn't love it. I could never get into Morin and Bao's adventures the way I did Phedre's and Imriel's. The books in this series somehow lacked the passion and poignancy. "
— Jennifer, 1/25/2014 -
" Not the greatest of the series, but really, the only bad thing is about it is that the series is now over :( "
— Lindsey, 1/20/2014 -
" The third in Naamah's series. Carey, you hold me in wonder. I will remember the series fondly. "
— Vince, 1/14/2014 -
" I'm going to miss this goofy universe. This last installment was a bit more cozy than most of them. Moirin doesn't often have to decide or figure much out on her own. Bao causes absolutely no trouble (to make up for the past, perhaps) and everything comes full circle. "
— Cindywho, 1/13/2014 -
" Can't wait for this to be out!! "
— Gwendalyn, 1/2/2014 -
" A great ending to Moirin's and Bao's story. Thanks Ms Carey for the wonderful world of Terre d' Ange. I hope there is more to come. "
— Night, 12/27/2013 -
" An excellent end to a very long group of books. I'm looking forward to seeing what Carey has in store next ... "
— Jenifer, 9/27/2013 -
" awesome!!! a fantastic conclusion to an absolutely remarkable series/trilogy. "
— Shifra, 3/30/2013 -
" I cried, laughed, got angry, engaged, loved some characters and truly disliked others. Wow. Just wow! "
— Blesha, 3/5/2013 -
" It was an enjoyable read, but not quite on the same level as Kushiel's Dart. I adored all the little researchy details that went into making Terra Nova, though. That made my geek heart happy. "

" Really liked this one - thought it was the strongest book of the three. "
— Debs, 5/15/2012 -
" I'd actually give this a 3.5; it might be better had I not jumped in at the middle of the series. I'd go back and catch up. "
— Anna, 5/13/2012 -
" (actually 4 1/2) A wonderful ending to the trilogy. Took half a star off for a rather rushed wrap-up, but it didn't ruin anything. "
— Jennifer, 1/19/2012 -
" Enjoyable as always, although I do still love the Phedre's Kushiel books best. "
— JJ, 11/11/2011 -
" While I'm sad to be leaving Terre d'Ange again, I believe it was a fitting end to the saga. A definite must read for everyone! "
— Jenifer, 10/11/2011 -
" Finally finished this trilogy, a more gentle, less inspiring tale than the other 2 trilogies in this series. A good read, but I could put these books down, something I found difficult with the other six. "
— Andreasoldier, 9/27/2011 -
" I admit this trilogy pales in comparison to the first one but it was still a magical, wonderful read. I could never give Jacqueline Carey less than 5 stars because I enjoy her gorgeous prose too much. "
— Heather, 7/7/2011 -
