An unexpected encounter with human emotions results in a cold that forces the extraterrestrial Ian Marsh to halt the search for his "key." His illness alarms Lenore Grey, reminding her of the agonizing death of her beloved brother William in 1741 England, just hours after their disastrous reunion. Using her powers, she helps Ian overcome the virus, and they resume the search. The three clues left by deceased art thief Preston Halifax lead them to the famed Beverly Hills Hotel and a man who tried to buy the key. The search stalls again when Ian must see Lenore through what may or may not be a simple case of food poisoning. The next day, they leave for New Orleans. At Club Sebastian, Ian meets the Chevalier twins, former slaves of the infamous Delphine LaLaurie, sired in 1834 by Jean-Jacques Printemps. They agree to attend an auction of stolen art and valuable artifacts with Lenore and Ian the following night. Meanwhile, as Rick O'Grady watches his friends drive away from the Musso & Frank Grill in Los Angeles, he is horrified to see the enigmatic Count de Poenari watching him from across the street. While fumbling with his car keys, an arm wraps around his neck and drags Rick into a nearby alley. At the same time, Ian finds a note from Lenore saying she has left New Orleans without mentioning that it involves Rick. As he readies for bed, a frantic No?lle Chevalier arrives at his door. The next night at the auction, a shocking beheading reveals an ancient Egyptian priest, warlocks, witches, and demons are also after the key, believing it is the powerful Eye of Horus. Should magic prevail, the key could be lost forever. Please visit Cameron Townsend and "Like" The Lenore Grey Novels on Facebook!
