The long-awaited sequel to the bestseller "Dina - Guardian of the Gates." Full of suspense, magic, and humor: Ilona Andrews exceeds all expectations for an entertaining fantasy novel. Dina's quirky inn can perform magic, but it could run a bit better – her only paying guest is a tyrannical ruler from space named Caldenia, who is wanted worldwide. Then one day, an arbitrator appears at Dina's door, looking for accommodations for a peace conference with magical participants. The survival of thousands depends on the outcome of the conference, so Dina doesn’t hesitate and agrees. Suddenly, she finds herself mediating between aggressive vampires and other capricious beings, searching for a new cook, and preventing bloodshed under her roof. But that’s just normal in a magical inn like hers.
