When Chloe Sabourin
wakes in a dark, New Orleans cemetery with no memory of the previous
days, she can hardly believe the story her friends tell her. They say
Chloe was possessed by a witch named Thisbe, who had used the darkest
magic to keep herself alive for over a century. They tell her that the
witch is the one responsible for the unspeakable murders that nearly
claimed the life of Chloe's friend, Lucy. Most unbelievable of all, they
say that Thisbe is Chloe’s own mother. As she struggles with this
devastating revelation and tries to rebuilt her life, Chloe wants
nothing to do with the magic that corrupted her mother... especially since
she feels drawn to it.
Now, a new series of ritualistic killings
suggests that Thisbe is plotting again, and Chloe is drawn unwillingly
back into the mystical underworld of the French Quarter. To stop Thisbe
before she kills again, Chloe and her friends must learn what they can
from the mysterious Mama Legba. But when her boyfriend Piers vanishes,
Chloe will have to risk everything and embrace her own power to save the
one person she has left... even if that means bringing down her mother.
