Gods & Monsters (Bird & Serpent Vol. 3)

After the events of the Masquerade des Crânes, Louise le Blanc suffered a devastating blow and, most importantly, an irreparable loss. Now, shaken by recent events and immobilized by external factors, she will need, in Gods and Monsters , the electrifying conclusion to the Bird and Snake series, to hone her tolerance and, above all, trust.

Louise le Blanc has spent her life on the run, sneaking through the city's alleys and rooftops with a single goal: to escape her mother, Morgane le Blanc. But after suffering a terrible blow and seeing her rigid foundations shaken, her purpose changes significantly: now, she must stop running and finally face Morgane face to face, resolve their conflicts once and for all, and, ideally, avoid death. It wasn't going to be easy, but, prevented from carrying out her plans, the difficulty became even greater.

United with her for a necessary and imminent outcome, her friends—and their associates—will literally face gods and monsters so that everyone, including Lou, can remain safe. An epic battle looms, and the bond between them may threaten to crumble as constant coexistence and the struggles of daily life slowly take hold, relentless.

Determined to face not only her inner demons, but everyone around her to ensure the safety of her friends, Reid and finally discover what it means to live a harmonious, peaceful life away from the clutches of fear, Louise will learn, now definitively, one last lesson about how far love is capable of taking us.
