(Sentinels of New Orleans, Book 1)
As the junior wizard sentinel for New Orleans, Drusilla Jaco’s job involves a lot more potion-mixing and pixie-retrieval than sniffing out supernatural bad guys like rogue vampires and lethal were-creatures. Her boss and mentor, Gerald St. Simon, is the wizard tasked with protecting the city from anyone or anything that might slip over from the preternatural beyond. Then Hurricane Katrina hammers New Orleans’ fragile levees, unleashing more than just dangerous flood waters. While winds howled and Lake Pontchartrain surged, the borders between the modern city and the other world crumbled. Now, the Undead and the Restless are roaming the Big Easy, and a serial killer with ties to voodoo is murdering soldiers sent to help the city recover. Gerald St. Simon has gone missing, the wizards’ Elders have assigned a grenade-toting assassin as DJ’s new partner, and an undead pirate Jean Lafitte wants to make her walk his plank. The search for Gerry and the killer turns personal when DJ learns the hard way that loyalty requires sacrifice, allies come from the unlikeliest places, and duty mixed with love serves up one bitter gumbo. Coming April 10, 2012, from Tor Books.
RIVER ROAD
(Sentinels of New Orleans, Book 2)
Folks in New Orleans say Hurricane Katrina changed everything. They don't know half of it. Wizard Sentinel Drusilla "DJ" Jaco can tell them all about it--she had a ringside seat when fluctuating barometric pressures from the hurricane breached the barriers between the human world and the preternatural world Beyond. Now, treaties between the wizard gatekeepers and all the preternatural critters are complete, and DJ and partner Alexander Warin find themselves drowning in water creatures as a rift develops between the Mighty Mississippi and the River Styx. People are getting sick--or dead-- all over town, and DJ has to figure out whether it's the nutty nix, the monosyllabic merman or the naughty nymph who's behind it--or some critter altogether different. After all, DJ's undead suitor, the pirate Jean Lafitte, knows his way around a body or two. Coming in Fall 2012 from Tor Books.ELYSIAN FIELDS
