Synopsis
If
you think your relationships are complicated, think again: you haven’t seen
anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing
with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human
fairy and telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover
Eric’s vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric’s ‘brother’ in tow
at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie’s tracking down a distant relation of
her ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton.
In
addition to the multitude of family complicating her life, the werewolf pack of
Shreveport has asked Sookie for a special favour, and since Sookie is an
obliging young woman, she agrees. But this favour for the wolves has dire
results for Sookie, who is still recovering from the trauma of her abduction
during the Fairy War.
