Fog drifts from the river. Bells toll from the cathedral. And the ghosts of New Orleans rise again.
1798 - The city still smolders from its second great fire, rebuilding itself stone by stone under Spanish rule. But when ghost ships glide from the Gulf bearing bodies marked with strange sigils, whispers spread through the Quarter: Captain Duval, corsair of blood and prayer, has returned.
At the edge of the river, Celeste Olivier feels the pull of ancient magic stirring beneath the tide. Bound by love to Jacques, haunted by her past with Lucien, and guarded by the ever-watchful Baptiste, she must defend the House Olivier from forces older than the river itself - powers that drink both blood and devotion.
As storms gather over the levees and the dead begin to whisper in forgotten tongues, Celeste will have to decide what she is willing to sacrifice to keep her city - and her heart - from drowning.
Between Fire and Tide is a lush, atmospheric gothic romance of redemption, loyalty, and the kind of love that endures beyond life itself - where every prayer costs something, and every debt must one day be paid.
This expanded release of Between Fire and Tide includes:
