Joachine never asked for power. Married and in her twenties, she should be building a quiet life-yet when ancient spirits mark her as a priestess, the bayou itself turns against her. Wolves stalk the cypress shadows, vampires hunt the night, and secrets buried in the mud rise to claim what she carries: a grimoire whose veve unlocks doors between worlds.Valcin, her husband, swears to protect her, but protection is a double-edged vow when allies keep their own dangerous bargains. Celestine, a rival with a grudge that reaches back generations, will stop at nothing to control or destroy Joachine's gift. As the veil thins and the bayou's old magic awakens, Joachine must learn the price of power, choose which rules to break, and decide whether destiny is something to accept-or to defy. The Conjuring on the Bayou is a dark, atmospheric supernatural thriller with romance, moral friction, and a richly drawn Creole setting where love and legend collide.
