"A Southern Gothic love letter." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review, on The Casquette Girls

The fourth volume, The Gates of Guine, picks up where the third book left off with Macalister LeMoyne held hostage by the Ghost Drinkers' coven and Adele willing to risk it all to save her father, even if it means opening a portal to the Voodoo Afterworld to hunt down the spirit of one of the greatest witches who ever lived.

A trip to the Afterworld might be the end of the supernatural world.

As the Ghost Drinkers seep into the crevices of the Crescent City, leeching the French Quarter of magic, the local witches are consumed with a new fight for survival. Adele has one chance to save everyone she loves, but it will mean breaking away from her coven and trusting a vampire.

For the first time in four hundred years, Niccol Medici feels on the precipice of finding his stolen grimoire. But in order to restore his family's legacy, he'll have to succumb to his darkest desires.

New York transplant and first responder Isaac Thompson will stop at nothing to protect Adele, even if he has to give in to his Spektral magic to unearth the truth about Nicco's monstrous past.
