    Cristina and Clement Trudeau have conjured the impossible: justice.
    They took back their family's stolen throne to lead New Orleans' magical community into the brighter future they all deserve.
    But when Cris and Clem restored their family power, Valentina Savant lost everything. Her beloved grandparents are gone and her sovereignty has been revoked—she will never be Queen. Unless, of course, someone dethrones the Trudeaus again. And lucky for her, she's not the only one trying to take them down.
    Cris and Clem have enemies coming at them from all directions: Hateful anti-magic protesters sabotage their reign at every turn. A ruthless detective with a personal vendetta against magical crime is hot on their tail just as Cris has discovered her thirst for revenge. And a brutal god, hunting from the shadows, is summoned by the very power Clem needs to protect the boy he loves.
    Cris's hunger for vengeance and Clem's desire for love could prove to be their family's downfall, all while new murders, shocking disappearances, and impossible alliances are changing the game forever.
    Welcome back to New Orleans, where gods walk among us and justice isn't served, it's taken.

        The Trudeau twins return with a vengeance to protect themselves and their loved ones as a conflict as old as the gods stirs in this second series entry. Nine months ago, Cris and Clem balanced the scales of justice with the help of Papa Eshu, restoring their family's place in their community and their mother's rightful position as Queen of the Gen Council. Not everyone who wronged Cris or her family got the punishment they deserved, however. With the blessing of a god older than Papa Eshu, Cris takes justice into her own hands. Meanwhile, Clem sinks beneath the weight of a secret: His resurrection ritual shattered the soul of Yves Bordeaux, his boyfriend, who's trapped between life and death. Jean-Louise Petit, the necromancer who promised to help, abandons Clem when they learn that the Moon King, a terrifying and dangerous god, used them to escape into the natural realm. The violent murder of the mayor thrusts Cris and Clem back together as the cycle of history repeats itself, and their mother takes the blame for a crime she didn't commit. Cris' and Clem's frustrations boil into rage at the social systems around them, designed to perpetuate injustice. As with Blood Debts (2023), this story grounds mystery and magic in relevant real-world issues, demonstrating how the past continues to shape the present. The cast of characters is primarily Black. A supernatural force of satisfying fury. (author's note, magic chart, family trees) (Fantasy. 14-18)
