Synopsis
Naamah's Blessing concludes the Moirin Trilogy as Moirin returns at last to Terre d'Ange, only to find the royal family in crisis. King Daniel is paralyzed by grief after the death of his wife, Queen Jehanne; the heir, Prince Thierry, is away leading an expedition to the distant continent of Terra Nova; and Thierry's young half-sister, Princess Desirée, is left emotionally exposed despite her intelligence and fiery temper. Moirin is asked to become the small princess's sworn protector, drawing her into the intrigues of an unsettled court and line of succession. When the late Queen Jehanne's spirit visits her in a dream and charges her with a seemingly impossible task, Moirin must also reckon with her manipulative former lover Raphael de Mereliot, who is traveling with Thierry in the New World and carries unfinished business from their shared past.
