Fallen: An Undercurrent Novel
A dark angel. A blind seer. A bound witch. Every salvation has its price.
Beneath the neon lights of New Orleans and the dark waters of Louisiana's bayous, hidden societies thrive on blood pacts and territorial disputes. Covens broker treaties with federal agents, cartels leverage the Infernal for their illicit gains, and two broken souls become the last line of defense against a conspiracy that threatens them all.
Leerie is a Witness—a rare seer who guides her coven's hunts but never participates. When a routine mission becomes a massacre, she finds herself kidnapped, tortured, and held prisoner by a supernatural sicario with mismatched eyes and unspeakable appetites.
Ciro carries something dark within him—something the witches fear. Stolen from another contested world, he relies on memories that aren’t his own to survive. With his own demons in tow, he stumbles upon a series of ritualistic murders that lead to a basement of horrors and a blind seer who may be the key to his return home.
Deva suffers the fate of a pain witch—one who fought on when she could have retreated. To call her a hero would be an insult. To call her a survivor would fall short of the truth.
From the bayous of Louisiana to the streets of London, an ancient evil spreads its influence through blood and betrayal. Witches fall. Lycans turn rogue. And at the center of it all, the Fallen must choose between salvation and war.
Fallen is a crime noir / gothic urban fantasy where supernatural politics collide with underworld cartels, and power comes at the cost of one’s soul. Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files and Kim Harrison’s Hollows books, this gritty tale explores what it means to be human when humanity itself is under siege.

Well written and edited, no repetition, perfect pacing and a great cast of characters.
Hope there's another book coming sometime soon.
