Sir Rodney, ruler of the Fae out of New Orleans, is
worried. Fae magick is under attack. Before Desidera, a
Phoenix dancer, can bring him evidence of the conspiracy,
she dies under mysterious conditions.
Sasha plans to have the time of her life for her 25th
birthday at the Midsummer Night's Ball. Her excitement
comes to a sudden halt when Sir Rodney asks for her silent
help without the help of the government in solving the
death. The phoenix women did not return from the fire,
rather the symbol remains in their cremated ash. She
investigates the scene and finds a strange symbol written
into the ashes. Before she can take proof of it, it
crumbles. Working off memory, she finds it is a curse. Her
only other clue is a strange feral were scent.
A second death leads them to the Blood Oasis and baron
Montague, vampires. How do they expect to find answers, when
their key
witness, Sir Rodney, is playing it close to his cuffs? He
is forced to admit it is sorcery.
The citizens of New Orleans remark on a fantasy
convention because of the people in costume. No luck. This
is how they really look. The magic of their kind is fading.
It is not safe for them. It seems the only hope Sir Rodney
has is by looking to his enemies. Who is doing it? The
Seelies, the unfairies, the vampires?
Until Sasha and Hunter can wash off the effects in the
shadow lands, nobody is immune from the contaminant. To
make matters worse, Shogun, Hunter's brother, returns.
Nobody's will is immune from the ill effects and their
problems are compounded. She is torn. In her human form she
has chosen her mate, but in her wolf form, her nature wants
combat. The curse battles the two brothers against each
other in claiming her as their mate.
In CURSED TO DEATH, L.A. Banks returns her favorite
characters to New Orleans and the battle resumes. Her novel
starts with a bang and continues on. A novel you can't put
down until the end. I look forward to her next.
Secret government operative Sasha Trudeau arrives at the
scene of a murder, only to discover that a Fae creature
has been killed—in a whole new kind of way. What is the
meaning behind this mysterious ritualistic killing? What
did the victim do to deserve it? Sasha fears that the
Vampires and Unseelies have formed an unholy alliance…and
they’re ready to unleash their darkest arsenal of magick
yet.
Teaming up with her mate and fellow Shadow
Wolf, Max Hunter, Sasha tries to penetrate the paranormal
community for clues. Meanwhile, members of the Wolf Clan
are turning against one another as they race to uncover
the meaning behind an ancient Unseelie curse. Even Sasha
is not immune to this powerful magick, and soon finds
herself drawn to a sensual, dangerous dance—one that could
cost her own life…
