Beneath the glittering chaos of Mardi Gras, something ancient is stirring.

Charlee Flynn’s birthday trip to New Orleans has been five days of beads, brass bands, and indulgent food. Then a decrepit, whiskey-soaked man staggers out of a shadowed alley, begging someone to save his son from a fate worse than death.

The locals dismiss him as another drunk haunted by regret. They warn Charlee to steer clear… but she’s never been good at ignoring a cry for help.

One reckless act of compassion shatters the celebration.

Below the streets of the vibrant French Quarter lies a world of forgotten myths, lethal traps, and a vengeance carved in stone. With time running out, and something in the darkness hunting her, Charlee must decide how far she’s willing to go to save a stranger’s son.

Not all legends are lessons. Some are warnings. Some are waiting.
