About this audiobook
Upon returning to the decaying Ainsworth plantation, Joe discovers that the legends of a curse are terrifyingly real. He meets Carry Vance, a descendant of the legendary Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, who understands the spiritual imbalance plaguing the land. Together, they learn that Joe's ancestor, Silas Ainsworth, made a desperate "deal in the mire" with ancient entities centuries ago, mortgaging the souls of his descendants to restore his family's fortune.
As the curse manifests more aggressively—turning living relatives like Mrs. Gable into "zombified" predators driven by an unholy hunger—Joe and Carry embark on a perilous journey through the bayou to reach an ancient cemetery. Their goal is to find the source of the ancestral sin and sever the spiritual bondage. After a harrowing physical and spiritual gauntlet, they reach a mausoleum where their unwavering bond and love allow them to pay the spiritual debt, breaking the curse at its source just as dawn breaks over the swamp.
