New Orleans has secrets deeper than the ones mortals keep…A passage where eerie creatures play sinister games for human souls. Marissa Salgado is in the thrall of a dark Fae and is instrumental in his efforts to create a foothold for his kind in the world of the living. But the Oracle of the City has different plans. The Lady recruits Garan Nolton to safeguard her interests, a move that pulls Marissa deeper into the immortal intrigue. Garan is half-man, half-beast, his soul torn apart by an ancient magic—a breed thought to be long extinct in any dimension. The Lady’s plans go by the wayside, however, as soon as Garan lays eyes on Marissa, and she captures his cold, divided heart. The lines of life and death meet, and Marissa is trapped between a being that stakes a claim upon her soul, and another that thirsts for her blood.
