I've been underestimated my entire life. Held back, tested, shunned, laughed at. But I can't change the blood in my veins, and I wouldn't if I could.
The Baptiste line runs strong in me, and I have always known I was meant for more.
So, when GUARDIAN drops a case in my lap, vampires turning up decapitated and drained like livestock, the last thing I expect is to be written off as a blond bimbo Voodoo witch by the vampire agent I am forced to work beside.
Everyone is waiting for me to fail, to follow my grandmother into disgrace and hand them the excuse they need to be rid of me. Let them wait. Solving this is how I prove that the story I was told about her death is a lie.
And I am not alone. My best friend would walk into fire for me. So would Adrian, in his own maddening way, a vampire who guards his history like an open wound and keeps pushing me away even as my magic pulls me toward him. He is holding something back to protect me. I can feel it. His past and my family'''s keep crossing in places neither of us can explain.
I cannot let him distract me. One slip, and someone I love dies.
They have no idea what they just lit. It is time to become the woman I was always meant to be.
Ancestral Lies is Book 5 of The GUARDIAN Files, a paranormal suspense series set in the haunted heart of New Orleans, where the old magic runs deep, and the truth is always more dangerous than the lie.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
