The hurricane may have passed, but in New Orleans the storm rages on.With the borders between the city and the Otherworld destroyed, new and dangerous species have swarmed into the waterways. There is talk of war between rival clans in the darkest depths of Louisiana''s swamps and it falls to wizard sentinel Drusilla Jaco and her partner, Alex Warin, to keep the peace.When wizards start dying and it become apparent that the waters of the mighty Mississippi itself have been poisoned, DJ will have to really focus if she is to find out who - or what - is responsible. And with an undead suitor, the amorous pirate Jean Lafitte, on her back, that isn''t going to be easy...It''s anything but smooth sailing on the bayou as the Sentinels of New Orleans series continues.

New Orleans is under attack from a copycat who is mimicking the crimes of a serial killer who terrorized the streets almost a century earlier. Drusilla Jaco could happily live without the advances of the 200-year-old undead pirate Jean Lafitte, but through him DJ learns the terrible truth: this is no copycat - someone has resurrected the original Axeman of New Orleans. And to make matters worse, the attacks aren''t random at all. He''s after her.So there''s an undead serial killer on her back. A loup-garou who''s going loco. The Elders are insisting on magic lessons from the world''s most annoying wizard. And former partner - and sometime Neanderthal - Alex Warin has just turned up on DJ''s to-do list. DJ is about to discover that life in Louisiana has more twists and turns than the mighty Mississippi.
