Claire Kincaid's family has been in business for over fifty years. The voodoo business. Part of the International Guild of High Priests and Priestesses, a secret society that has practiced voodoo for generations, the Kincaids run an underground supply house for authentic voodoo supplies. Claire plays along, filling orders for powders, oils, and other bizarre ingredients, but she's not like the others. She doesn't believe. Claire can't wait to escape New Orleans-and her ancestral connection to notorious voodoo queen Marie Leveau-a desire that complicates her romance with Xander Toussaint, son of the Guild's powerful founding family. But when a mysterious customer orders a lethal black market ingredient, Claire begins to realize that there's more to voodoo-and the Guild-than meets the eye. As she bands together with the Guild's other firstborns, she comes face-to-face with a deadly enemy-and the disbelief that may kill them all.
