From The Publisher:

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews is back with the newest book in the exciting Hidden Legacy series-the thrilling conclusion to her trilogy featuring fierce and beautiful Prime magic user Catalina Baylor.

An escaped spider, the unexpected arrival of an Imperial Russian Prince, the senseless assassination of a powerful figure, a shocking attack on the supposedly invincible Warden of Texas, Catalina's boss... And it's only Monday.

Within hours, the fate of Houston-not to mention the House of Baylor-now rests on Catalina, who will have to harness her powers as never before. But even with her fellow Prime and fiancé Alessandro Sagredo by her side, she may not be able to expose who's responsible before all hell really breaks loose.

Loved Catalina's trilogy

It was exactly the book I needed. Every time this series reminds me of the joy I find in reading. Lately, I've felt like I've lost it a bit. That is why I am so glad that this book has brought me so much fun. It was a brilliant ending to this trilogy.

I always like to see a pair of main characters working together smoothly instead of arguing. And this is exactly the case with Alessandro and Catalina. In this book, they really show how well they fit together and how well they understand each other. It's really great to read about it. They solve their problems together, and they really support each other.

They are one of those couples where it's really easy to believe in the deep feelings between them. It's not that common in the books I've read recently. And that's the reason I had so much fun reading about Alessandro and Catalina. The threads of the other members of their family also developed very interestingly, and several secrets were uncovered. A few things really surprised me. The only thing I missed was seeing more of Nevada and Connor. But I hope they will come back in next books.

I look forward to my next book, or rather the next trilogy on Arabella. There are so many potential candidates for her partners. When we met Konstantin, I thought he would be her love. But now, after the epilogue, I'm not so sure anymore. One thing is for sure, this is an excellent series and I look forward to seeing more books. It will be fantastic to meet all these characters again.
