A moody, slow-burn paranormal mystery set in a New Orleans where demons, witches, and fate itself walk unseen among the living.A cursed man. A haunted city. A love that defies lifetimes.When a desperate human staggers into Bastien Durand's office, claiming he's been hexed by a vengeful ex-girlfriend, Bastien figures it's just another case of love gone wrong. But when the curse starts unraveling threads of powerful magic—magic that reeks of something far older and darker than a jilted witch's tantrum—he realizes he's stumbled into something far bigger.Tasked with breaking the curse before it consumes the man's soul, Bastien must dive into the underbelly of the New Orleans magical black market. Along the way, he uncovers a forbidden spell ring, ancient pacts that were never meant to surface, and a brewing war between the witches who walk the Veil and those who profit from its secrets.As Bastien pieces the case together, he's forced to confront his own past—and the growing, undeniable pull he feels toward Delphine Moreau, the librarian whose destiny is entangled with his own. But some truths are better left buried, and some curses can't be broken without a price.In a city where magic masks betrayal and love is just another kind of curse, Bastien must solve the mystery before more blood is spilled—and before the woman he's vowed to protect becomes his executioner.Curse in the Quarter is the first book in the Bourbon Street Shadows series—a moody, slow-burn paranormal mystery set in a New Orleans where demons, witches, and fate itself walk unseen among the living.
