The British, French, and Americans are fighting hard across the budding U.S., but the Americans have a secret plan for sealing the deal.

Yet, a final challenge awaits all on the a magical swords-woman on a purple stallion, taking both sides' heads. Toutemine especially takes a liking to Lafitte, who keeps foiling her plans for his precious skull and saving his innocent brother from her curses. She grants wishes to her most honored nemesis in return for forging something special in his blacksmith shop on Bourbon Street, but everything hellish comes at a devilish price. Toutemine, the purple mage, and her frightful crew of Demon (zombie) Riders and Mage Maidens, will take us all on a journey of blood tales, through time and space to show her reach, and they will display the magical item's power through time. Captain Jean Lafitte must make good on their nightly blood drinking of his enemies or pay the curse's devilish dues. *Content Warnings on each tale are on copyright page. See above.
