The White Rose is dead. Long live the White Rose.
Callie Penrose returns home to find a year has passed, and that everyone believes her long dead.
Roland Haviar, once her mentor and now a Master Vampire, has become a bloodthirsty tyrant, fulfilling his vow to bathe the City of Fountains in blood until he avenges her death. And the Vatican Shepherds, once his brothers, stand in his way.
In his quest for closure, Roland surrounds the city in a magical barrier that blocks all methods of escape—or help—giving him time to seek out an ancient artifact powerful enough to put an end to everyone and everything once and for all…
In honor of Callie Penrose.
But when Callie is mysteriously cursed to appear as a demon, she finds herself hunted by the very people she wants to protect. Her only hope is to forge new alliances—make deals with devils—to stop the man she once loved as a father.
And all the while, the devil laughs in delight, naming Callie friend as he waits with bated breath for the world to end…

"This book started out a little slow but gets five stars for the mind-boggling ending.
Callie Penrose has just come through the harrowing adventure of the Doors where she has been learning some of life’s secrets and wound up at Solomon’s Temple, the place she was trying to get to all along. She is just relaxing with Solomon and Richard (aka Last Breath) and Cain and planning to find answers to some of the questions that brought her on this journey to begin with when she is informed that she has been missing from Kansas City for a whole year.
When she returns to check on things, she discovers that her old mentor, Roland, has gone off the deep end in her absence and is running a massive gang of vampires and werewolves who seem to be intent on murdering and abusing people.
To make matters worse, Callie suddenly seems to have the appearance of a demon. When she meets people who were formerly her friends, they start right in attacking her, and it is only with great difficulty (if at all) that she can convince them that it is really her.
Fortunately, Callie makes a lot of new friends and allies. But, as so often happens in the Templeverse, nothing is as it seems at first, and it turns out that the big ritual that Roland is planning is small potatoes compared to the danger that is coming for everybody.
Will Callie’s new friends and new powers be enough? Will she be able to save Roland? Or to kill him? Or even to save herself?"

- This book started out a little slow but gets five stars for the mind-boggling ending.

Will Callie’s new friends and new powers be enough? Will she be able to save Roland? Or to kill him? Or even to save herself? - Another great story in a series chock full of great stories. I like to look at a the reviews before I write my own. Sadly, the reviews for this book half give it away. I'm not going to do that. This is a GREAT book and it would be even better if you just went out and bought the first book and continued from there until you get to here. Shayne Silvers has a superb way of describing things enabling the reader to visualize exactly what the protagonist is going through and where they are. The creation of these mental images brings a reader directly into the story line. It is extremely engrossing. I had to warm up to the Feathers and Fire series. Heh...after the first few chapters I discovered that Feathers and Fire was equally as engrossing as the Nate Temple series. Adventure on a truly grand scale. Magic. Crazy spells. Mythical creatures. Plot twists. Betrayals. Gods of many different pantheons....and all the while, the action keeps on rolling right along. A thoroughly enjoyable, escapist kind of book. Actually worthy of reading more than once.
- He just haaaaaaad to go with that for her full name, good gods. I can no longer associate the name "Shayne Silvers" and "subtlety" in the same galactic zip code.
The sixth outing of Callie Penrose is quite notably her strongest installment to date, possibly Silvers' strongest work, full stop.
Even with the longer, more developed build-up for Nate Temple and the compressed, rapid development of Quinn MacKenna, neither of the two series have as of yet had an installment that strikes on such a heavy, self-contained plot focus that also manages to loop in multiple longer standing story threads in Callie's personal story and just as much as with the greater universal plot that has been so repeatedly elevated in stakes across all three series. It follows in the wake of the deep introspection and identity crisis of the previous installment with evident carryover of tone, but also drags back into more rapid, overwhelming exterior developments that had been bubbling up in the background for quite some time in the previous books.
Time skips can be a tricky thing to manage decently in literature, but managing to completely transpose entire characters and their relationships into such new, blatantly twisted territory that makes the transition feel sudden but also lengthily prolonged and worn out is a considerable feat, possibly one of the best developments Silvers has crafted thus far just in the simple terms of its prose and structure. The entire environment feels warped and wrung out, striking a balance between urban gang warfare and fully fledged post-supernatural apocalypse.
The characters and how they engage with this nearly destroyed version of their old world and life bring to bear the stark overlying theme of what despair truly is, how it slowly creeps up and erodes everything inside and out of a person and through them the world around them. Darkness feels heavier, emptiness feels even more hollow, and to those trapped literally and metaphorically between opposing, overwhelming powers seem to have had much of the color and music of their very nature bled out of them to varying degrees. Callie herself is almost a beacon of life and energy by comparison, a virile force contrasting the bleakness that enveloped her home and the people she cares for.
Conflict itself is in no greater or lesser supply than the previous book, but now each battle with brawn and magic also seems balanced with battles of clashing emotions and circumstance. Callie's identity crisis has made progress but still no full resolution as even disregarding the weightier questions of her birthrights and her grander purposes crafted before she was even born, the very nature of who she is and who she sees herself to be is still riddled with uncertainty and hesitation. By further contrast though, her actions and the purposes behind said actions strike stronger as she sees the costs and consequences of what her absence has resulted in, and throws herself back into the role of judge, jury and executioner to balance the scales.
And as usual for every question we have answered in the Templeverse, three more pop up to replace it. The answers or resolutions however are no small or insignificant things of course. Learning one's life and purpose are supposedly laid out before birth is juxtaposed with the knowledge that choice and free will can rage against the tide of destiny. That trust comes not only in what feels logical, but the things that feel the most illogical of all, as some things are tied not in oaths and motivations, but in bonds of blood.
And that suffering unto itself is as significant and necessary as alleviating it, because all things come in balance, that good can lead to evil and evil can lead to good. Even if at first glance the good is more like evil, as to murder Hope is to embrace Despair.
Plus there are ninjas now, can't just glance right over that now can we.
Overall the book feels like a wild, jarring ride from one catastrophic mess to the next, but in the best of ways and the breathing room it allows in between is just as striking for how heavy and overwhelming the moments can be, peaceful or otherwise. Rather than elevate the stakes of the world itself, the characters now are the ones being elevated, and Silvers makes it clear that their changes herald much more yet to come. As always I await what comes next.
