Alex accepts the invitation of his mysterious benefactors. Arriving in New Orleans, he meets Jacques, and through their immediate bond, they uncover a startling truth: Ancient forces have awaited their arrival for centuries, weapons drawn. Facing expectations thrust upon them and their own demons, they must fight to balance powers that threaten not only them but the boundary between life and death itself.

This started out as a short story, so the first three chapters are a bit intense. Things slow down to a more normal pace after that…
