Indigo Court novella. Cicely and Grieve have been King and Queen of Winter for almost a year now and are finally starting to settle into their roles when they go to welcome a ship from the Golden Isle bringing new members for both the Court of Winter and Summer. When they get to the port though, the ship crashes through it and while they find food and clothing for all who should have been aboard, there are no bodies or other signs of life. While Cicely's thoughts immediately turn towards Myst and her allies, her head knows that it's unlikely to be Myst and they are likely dealing with a new threat. Now she and Grieve must find out who is threatening their Kingdom and how they can be stopped.
I have to say that as much as I love the Otherworld series and those characters, I really enjoyed the Indigo Court series because it really had a good storyline that flowed well and didn't go off on tangents that did not move the main story along. This was a nice return to that world with a story that answered a few questions and gives a continuance to the characters while setting up a new threat. I'll definitely be interested to see where Ms. Galenorn takes it from here.

83:120 Night's End by Yasmine Galenorn
The series finale of the Indigo Court. Myst has not gone away quietly but is instead unleashing her minions and ready to make a final stand. Cicely and Grieve have come too far to let this be the end of everything and everyone they hold dear. Cicely has accessed the memories of her previous life as Myst's daughter to find their best hope of defeating her but it won't be easy and it will be even harder if Myst catches wind of their plans. Even if they can defeat Myst, what will their lives be like after the war?
A good ending to a fabulous series. I like that the end is something that was partially telegraphed in previous books and not just a "hey look, main character suddenly got tons of power to amazingly defeat main bad guy at the last minute" which I think is a total cop-out but one I've seen implemented too often by other writers. This was war and people died and changed and not every relationship/friendship survived intact. I wish Cicely and Grieve a long and prosperous life.
