Brian K Dye: Grave Matters, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Power is old. Spirit is older. And some debts demand sacrifice.

When a sacred fire tears through the hills above Jacmel, the old protections fail-and the dead go quiet. Terra Graves, a Milwaukee mambo with more grit than patience, is pulled into a war she didn't start and refuses to lose. Vodou vèvès light the way. Enemies wear beautiful faces. The World Beneath-its bars, crossroads, and back-alley altars-prowls just under the city's skin.

With her congregation on the run, a stolen govi pulsing with sacred power, and a newly risen Shining One out of control, Terra hunts for answers that won't stay buried: a vanished Solar Lodge, a Red Sect leaving bodies in their wake, and zombi-astrals that possess flesh and supplant souls. To save the people who still believe in her-and the ones who don't-Terra will bargain with vampires, sing to the Lwa, and drag truth out of a flirty bard.

Dark magic, found family, and a city that keeps its secrets-Grave Matters launches the Terra Graves series with smoke, rhythm, and teeth.
