But the unexpected specter of her deceased father plunges her into a mad quest for a missing supernatural weapon unearthed long ago. And unfortunately her only ally is a lost love who she betrayed. Iain Shaw returns to New Orleans, a city he abandoned a decade before fleeing a devastating past, only confronted by it again in the visage of the woman he once loved - the one he is now determined to get back at any cost.
