When Hurricane Katrina hit, Jacyn Boaz knew it was time to go home to the Gulf Coast. Working with relief organizations, Jacyn pushes herself to exhaustion every day, trying to rid herself of the guilty knowledge that but for a twist of fate, she would be one of the many weary souls she sees every day, people searching for their families, their children, anything of their life before.
Jimmy Wayne Broadus looks like the perfect distraction from the endless parade of grief. His beat-up pickup truck has a bumper sticker that says, "Don't Mess With Texas," and he wears his jeans like a down home boy. He likes his beer and BBQ, and his fingers are never far from his guitar.
But Jimmy Wayne has hidden depths and dark secrets. He's on the trail of a demon that's been eating the souls of Katrina refugees... and he needs Jacyn's help. As they fight and hunt their way through the storm-wrecked Gulf Coast, thwarting an evil witch here, fighting a course from a necklace there, Jacyn realizes that she and Jimmy Wayne make a good team. Maybe there's more to life than guild and tears... like love.

His only hope is Faith, the French Seigneur’s concubine, who desperately needs his help to rescue her human sister from the Seigneur’s clutches.

When a routine hanging goes wrong and a murderer somehow survives the noose, the man announces he is an immortal. And not just any immortal, but Cayal, the Immortal Prince, hero of legend, thought to be only a fictional character. To most he is a figure out of the Tide Lord Tarot, the only record left on Amyrantha of the mythical beings whom fable tells created the race of half-human, half-animal Crasii, a race of slaves.
Arkady Desean is an expert on the legends of the Tide Lords so at the request of the King's Spymaster, she is sent to interrogate this would-be immortal, hoping to prove he is a spy, or at the very least, a madman.
Though she is set the task of proving Cayal a liar, Arkady finds herself believing him, against her own good sense. And as she begins to truly believe in the Tide Lords, her own web of lies begins to unravel...
