The Cities of Dead: the highly anticipated third book in Alys Arden's spellbinding The Casquette Girls series. Old World witches collide with the French Quarter's strangest denizens, setting off events that could tear the fabric of the Natural and Supernatural worlds, and only the most elusive, mischievous Voodoo lwa hold the key to stopping it. As Adele struggles with her losses, Nicco's secrets draw her closer, but Isaac questions Nicco's motives and refuses to let go without a fight. While the coven works to make the streets safe from the Ghost Drinkers, Nicco's family of vampires is ready to break the Saint-Germain curse at all costs and settle a centuries-old feud. To save her loved ones and her cherished city, Adele must unearth New Orleans's best-kept Voodoo secret and piece together fragments of history from sixteenth-century Spain-even if it means discovering secrets she never wanted to know. If she fails, she may lose her magic forever.

Is blood thicker than magic in La Nouvelle-Orléans? Tormented by the fate she condemned her mother to, and by the lies she's forced to tell to cover it up, Adele scours Storm-ravaged New Orleans for the truth about her family's magical past. But every turn leads her back to the one person she's determined to forget: Niccolò Medici. Not even the multitude of enchanted locks on the attic door trapping Nicco within can break their connection. Sensing Nicco calling to Adele, Isaac tries relentlessly to keep her from exploring paths too dark that would endanger them all. But a new threat is rising: the Medici's presence has attracted something else to New Orleans...an older enemy, one that will bring Isaac's haunted past to life, test the witches' friendships, and jeopardize Adele and Isaac's blossoming relationship. In this spellbinding continuation of The Casquette Girls saga, Adele must draw on the past-from seventeenth-century Florence, a time bubbling with alchemy and fraternal betrayal-and sort history from fantasy if she is to have any chance of saving her mother, her coven, and her magic.
