Why these tropes fit
Ten years into Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series, Sookie recovers physically and emotionally from the Fae War, in which she was tortured and lost loved ones. Her complicated relationship with vampire Eric Northman is now under political scrutiny by the new vampire king. As the political implications of the shifters' coming-out are felt, her connection to one particular Were pulls her into that dangerous debate. Meanwhile, although the door to Faery has been closed, a vengeful fae who is still on the human side holds a deep grudge against Sookie, drawing her into supernatural conflict and court intrigue.
