Meanwhile, the vampire queen of Louisiana is about to make a political marriage with the vampire king of Arkansas, and Sookie is involved, since it turns out that her dead cousin Hadley had become a vampire and had a relationship with the queen. At least Quinn, the powerful weretiger, seems very interested, although Sookie no longer trusts her instincts when it comes to males. Eric, the powerful ex-Viking vampire, is not speaking to her. Alcid, the werewolf who claimed to love her, is now also dating someone else. Bill, the vampire who is her ex-boyfriend, is dating someone else.
