🔥Winner: Most Original Concept, FLARE Mini Awards. After seven years trapped in the mind of a wolf, alchemist Declan Laroux returns to the decaying Louisiana town of Vieux Marais to find his ancestral home under a supernatural siege. To stop a coven of vampires from turning the town into a necropolis, Declan must forge a volatile alliance with savage werewolves and a broken brotherhood of swamp hunters. As the bayou's "temporal bubble" begins to sever the town from the rest of the world, the alchemist must discover if he is the region's savior or its doom. Readers should expect a supernatural noir set within the suffocating atmosphere of the Louisiana bayou, where ancient magic and modern legal tactics collide. The story centers on a world where the boundaries of reality are fraying, and the living dead are as dangerous for their political power as they are for their bloodlust.
