Despite having their fate supposedly pre-determined, there seemed to be plenty of surprises in the 400 years Damien and Chapel had been together. Aside from the usual vampire problems - Medieval warfare, ancient conspiracies, fire manipulators - they also faced several human challenges - a joyful reunion, a cruel father-in-law, adultery, and finally divorce. None of this was mentioned in the prophecy given by "The Lady of the Mountain", only that they were one of the few privileged couples that were able to Breed. Like other pairs in their position they had tried and failed. Now, after 200 years apart, they find themselves in each other's lives once again. With the past and present eerily similar, all new obstacles stand in the way of them fulfilling their destiny - the biggest being Chapel's new boyfriend, Vega.

This heart-breaking love story will enlighten and offer support to those who struggle with the brutality and inevitability of Alzheimer's Disease. Readers will identify with the compassion of one care giver in comparison with the brutality of the disease itself. When I think of who my mother was in her prime, and who she became in the end, it's like imagining two different people. She too was a graduate from nursing school in 1943. Care giving was natural for her. She came from a large family of seven children who worked hard on their farm to make ends meet. She helped provide for the family and took care of her younger siblings. She enjoyed working in the hospital and felt at ease among the halls of medicine. She never would have wanted her life to become so dependent upon others but unfortunately, her nurturing role was reversed. My father stepped into the role of care giver for 15 years as she helplessly became the unwilling recipient. My greatest hope for today is to spread awareness of the disease and support extensive research for the promise of a cure once and for all.

"French pirate Jean Lafitte is tall, cobalt-eyed, broad-shouldered, and immortal. What's not to love? But New Orleans' most esteemed member of the historical undead is headed for trouble. He's determined to reclaim Le Diligent, his gold-laden schooner lost at sea in 1814 and recently found at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico near Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The U.S. Coast Guard and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office might beg to differ. New Orleans wizard sentinel DJ Jaco and her merman friend Rene Delachaise can either lock Lafitte up or join him from himself. Terrebonne Parish--not to mention its jail--might never be the same after the events of the all-new novella Pirateship Down." -- Cover, p. [4].

Now, the undead and the restless are roaming the Big Easy, and a serial killer with ties to voodoo is murdering the soldiers sent to help the city recover.To make it worse, Gerry has gone missing, the wizards' Elders have assigned a grenade-toting assassin as DJ's new partner, and undead pirate Jean Lafitte wants to make her walk his plank. The search for Gerry and for the serial killer turns personal when DJ learns the hard way that loyalty requires sacrifice, allies come from the unlikeliest places, and duty mixed with love creates one bitter gumbo.The Sentinels of New Orleans Series:Royal StreetRiver RoadElysian FieldsPirate's AlleyBelle Chasse
