Short description

A mighty hurricane swirling towards the coast will set in motion a great battle as the last surviving witch clans struggle for control. But when a vampire with no memories of his past arrives to sway the tide of their war, the true struggle for power begins. Three magical stones may hold the only key to attaining absolute greatness. But upon this river's crescent, only the bold can become great.

Extended description

It was upon a mighty river’s crescent that I’d finally found what I’d lost four years before. The year was 1722, the place, an unforgiving swamp-land that would come to be called New Orleans. Mankind has its own way of looking at history, but their books are filled with various holes and gaps that do nothing more than hide the truth. New Orleans, throughout the years, has always been seen as a city touched by the supernatural, and there was a reason for that. That land below sea-level was home to the last surviving colony of Witches. Once, before their downfall, their only goals were the protection of this Earth. Now, after walking such a fine line with extinction for so very long, they could do nothing more than fight to protect their own lives.

Split into two separate factions, their future would hinge on the arrival of a lone Vampire, one with the ability to sway the tide of their war. His name was Reggio, or so he called himself.

The year was 1722, the place, an unforgiving swamp-land that would come to be called New Orleans. Mankind has its own way of looking at history, but their books are filled with various holes and gaps that do nothing more than hide the truth. New Orleans, throughout the years, has always been seen as a city touched by the supernatural, and there was a reason for that. That land below sea-level was home to the last surviving colony of Witches. Once, before their downfall, their only goals were the protection of this Earth. Now, after walking such a fine line with extinction for so very long, they could do nothing more than fight to protect their own lives.

Split into two separate factions, their future would hinge on the arrival of a lone Vampire, one with the ability to sway the tide of their war. His name was Reggio, or so he called himself. It wasn’t his true name, but for someone with no memories of his past, it was as good as any other. His strength was parallel to that of a raging Hurricane, and would be seen as a threat to many among the witches. But three will take interest. They will see him as a chance for change, one that they desperately needed. But will Jane Saint Marie be able to save him from the selfish grasp of the two witch sisters? Will her guidance lead him down the correct path, or will his emotions lead him down another? The entire future may hinge on his decision.

But as far as the Warwalker, Marigny, was concerned, he alone would serve as the light to guide his kind into that future. He will seek out the three Elysian Stones and use them to define his brood’s link to power, but not before an opportunity to claim his own power presents itself. With his old friend, and trusted leader, Orleans, beginning to slip deeper into madness, will he be able to rise seamlessly into that position of leadership? Or will another stand up to challenge his claim? A mighty storm swirling towards the coast will set in motion a great battle as the two witch clans struggle for supremacy. But the outcome will only reveal the storm left behind in the wreckage, one of flesh and bone, the vampire storm known as Reggio, who will be forced to choose his path towards the future, which side he would stand upon, and in doing so drag the fates of everyone else along with him.
