Since the 18th century, New Orleans has embraced their own extravagant twist on Mardi Gras celebrations. Set apart from the common revelry, the Louisiana elite host krewes, displaying wealth and power through the production of lavish balls, and stunning parades. One such group, the Krewe of Magus, has extended invites for their ultra-exclusive fete in the Garden District. Run by the influential Deschanel family, access to From the Ashes is highly sought after, and rarely granted. Powerful alliances are formed, and deals are made. And behind the veil of silk and gold, debauchery abounds. Slip behind the gilded curtain, and disappear into the five unique tales that make up From the Ashes...
Sarah is the USA Today and International Bestselling Author of over forty contemporary and epic fantasy stories, and the creator of the Kingdom of the White Sea and Saga of Crimson & Clover universes.
Born a geek, Sarah spends her time crafting rich and multilayered worlds, obsessing over history, playing her retribution paladin (and sometimes destruction warlock), and settling provocative Tolkien debates, such as why the Great Eagles are not Gandalf's personal taxi service. Passionate about travel, she's been to over twenty countries collecting sparks of inspiration, and is always planning her next adventure.
Sarah and her husband live in a beautiful corner of SE Pennsylvania with their three tiny benevolent pug dictators.
Review based on Labor of Love (Others of Edenton #5.5) by Brandy L Rivers
Who doesn't love a ball, especially one where a black panther can just stride in...
Amazing short bringing Darla and Tomahawk back together. And now a bit about the story...
After Izackarus had possessed her she needed some space. But then she found out she was pregnant... Scared of what could be part of the baby she remained away. But her mom has a trick up her sleeve!
Favorite passage: “I won’t guarantee it will be perfect, but I promise to do my best.”
