What is a Queen without
her King?
After learning she is adopted, Eliza Morgan begins her search for her
biological family and is propelled into an underground world of witchcraft,
séances, and sacrifices where she is worshiped as the descendant of the last
great voodoo queen of the bayou, Marie Laveau. From her great, great
grandmother, she has inherited the ability to heal the souls of others by a
simple touch of her hands.
Eliza is expected cultivate this gift in order to use it to return the Voodoo community and religion to glory. A task not so terrible if it could be lived beside the devastatingly endearing Samuel Mueller. But Samuel is her Keeper. His charge is keeping her safe...and according to tradition, he is not permitted to mingle romantically with his ward.
The two struggle to smother the fire that burns between them while Samuel meets his demands as Eliza's guardian, keeping her safe from those who would sooner have her killed than let an outsider rule the Bayou.
And Eliza's enemies are much closer than she could have ever imagined.
About the Author:
Mary Bernsen is a southwest Florida native currently living
in Punta Gorda with her two beautiful children and a third, much larger child
that she affectionately calls husband. She is a stay-at-home mother and spends
her days creating characters on the good side of twenty-five because she is in
serious denial about the fact that she is now on the bad side of it. She has a
passion for fantasy of any kind along with historical fiction. If she isn't
having conversations with her made-up friends, you can usually find her
clipping coupons or out on the boat enjoying the muddy waters of Peace River
(as long as it isn't below 80 degrees).
