PHINE WAS BORN OF THE BAYOU... NOW THE TICK WITCH HAS COME HOME
Presided over by their Prime, New Orleans witch clans have hidden in plain sight for centuries. With her unique power, Seraphine Barreau should have been the Witches crowning jewel, instead she was their shameful secret, shunned for her syphoning ability and forced to flee the city. When the former Prime dies, the mantle unexpectedly passes to Phine, and the Tick Witch is summoned home.
Dragged back into the simmering tension of New Orleans' supernatural underbelly, Phine attempts to sort through the shattered pieces of her past, while maintaining the truce between the blood-thirsty Vampires, the reality altering Sidhe, and the Shifters, led by her former lover.
When the source of their magic is cursed by a parasitic blight, witchkin, living and dead, turn on Phine. As war with the Vampires spills blood onto the streets of New Orleans, Phine allies herself with the terrifying Queen of Nightmares and heads into the depths of the bayous to find answers. Together, these two magical abominations will make people rue the day they crossed the Tick Witch.
