Description
Sassy's name may have changed to Lady Mina Sobek, but she is still determined to rescue her mother from the Gaunt Man's menagerie of horrors. Thrown into ever-deepening social waters, she must wade through the intrigues between the other shapeshifting clans in Lusian City. Her family, the gators, have other plans which will haul them from the bayou backwaters and into the light. Seeing Jack of Hilltop tugs at the few dreams she wove for herself and Mina must choose to confess her love or let him go, both options may get him killed. Joss, the charismatic Lord of the Ophidian clan, offers guidance, magical knowledge, and other secrets he keeps for himself. He might be a better match, but it's up to Lady Mina to discover if he is a better man. Freeing her mother hinges on the elusive Lady Melusine, the only person who understands the Menageries and the identity of The Gaunt Man. The high-society debutant has no interest in putting her own skin on the line unless Lady Mina talks fast enough.
