Serials: Black Angel Crossroads

Bon Mambo Odile Sky Without Ending lives alone in the swamp south of New Orleans, in the house her grandmother built, practicing the religion handed down to her and caring for her community--the slaves on the surrounding plantations. She is one of the most powerful vodoun practitioners in the area, and none can match her for defensive skills.

One stormy night, a white man shows up on her doorstep, along with his bodyguard and a dying man. When it become obvious that there is black magic at work, Odile is drawn into a battle that she did not choose and doesn't want to fight, gathering problematic allies and dealing with her own growing feelings for Gabriel, the man who came to her door and asked for her help.

But fight she must, despite the dark secrets she discovers at every turn. The loa Ghede, who guards the crossroads between the living and the dead, has been trapped in a human body, and in his absence there are things that would come through into the world of the living. If Ghede is not found in time, the one who would take his place will turn the world into a place where the living and the dead coexist--much to the detriment of the living.
