From Publishers Weekly
The Hendees' entertaining fifth installment in the Noble Blood series (_Traitor of Blood_, etc.), a hybrid crossing Tolkienesque fantasy with vampire-infused horror, finds half-vampire Magiere and half-elf Leesil in the Elven Territories, searching for Leesil's imprisoned elven mother, Nien'a. The pair are accompanied by their preternaturally intelligent canine protector, Chap, and Wynn, a human sage who can connect psychically with Chap. On their mission to rescue Nien'a from her own people, the gang must battle the hateful elven leader, Most Aged Father, and his followers' prejudice against the human race. In an intriguing parallel adventure, the elegant vampire Welstiel, with the help of his undead companion, Chane, continues his quest for "the orb" that will free him of his blood lust. New readers might find the plot mystifying at times, but fans will enjoy the ongoing clash between elves, humans and the undead. (Jan.)

From
Half-human, half-vampire vampire-hunter Magiere; half-human, half-elf spy and assassin Leesil; and their two companions are crossing the mountains to elven territory in the dead of winter. Leesil wants to free his mother from punishment imposed on her when he broke with his former employers. There are complications. Elves don't like humans and hate vampires. Elven social structure is based on custom; when customs clash, time, even when there isn't much of it, must be spent determining which custom applies. A not-quite-sane elven warrior aims to kill Leesil, and an enemy trails Magiere. A real page-turner for Noble Dead series newcomers and veterans alike. Frieda Murray
