Description
Drusilla Jaco's life as a junior wizard sentinel is one of potions and pixies, but not the supernatural threats she'd expect. Her boss, Gerald St. Simon, handles the protection of New Orleans, while DJ focuses on more mundane tasks. However, when Hurricane Katrina hits, the city's fragile boundaries between the modern world and the Otherworld begin to crumble. As the dead and restless roam the streets, a serial killer with voodoo ties starts murdering soldiers sent to help the city recover. Gerald St. Simon has gone missing, DJ is paired with an unlikely new partner, and a pirate named Jean Lafitte wants her to join him on his ship. To survive, DJ must learn that loyalty requires sacrifice, allies can be found in unexpected places, and duty combined with love creates a complex mix of emotions. In this urban fantasy novel, DJ's world is turned upside down as she navigates the treacherous landscape of New Orleans' supernatural underworld.
