Book 5 of the The Parasol Protectorate series
Several years after her daughter's birth, Alexia Maccon is summoned to Alexandria by the ancient queen of its vampire hive. She crosses the Mediterranean with Conall, their unusual child, and the theatrical Tunstells while the expanding God-Breaker Plague threatens supernatural life. Questions about Alexia's father, Egypt's past, and the true nature of preternaturals converge with pack trouble unfolding back in London. Lively and conclusive, this final Parasol Protectorate adventure suits readers who enjoy family expeditions, Egyptian settings, vampire history, comic theater, and series finales that resolve long-running mysteries without sacrificing dirigibles, danger, or tea.
