  Endric wants only to serve, but he's destined to lead. As the second son of the general of the Denraen, Endric wants only to fight, not the commission his father demands of him. When a strange attack in the south leads to the loss of someone close to him, only Endric seems concerned about what happened. All signs point to an attack on the city, and betrayal by someone deep within the Denraen, but his father no longer trusts his judgment. This forces Endric to make another impulsive decision, one that leads him far from the city on a journey where he discovers how little he knew, and how much more he has to understand. If he can prove himself in time, and with the help of his new allies, he can stop a greater disaster.

   The Home gets a distress call from New Orleans. A group of resistance fighters is asking for help. Naturally the Home will send out Blade and the Warriors to investigate. This time Blade chooses the Beta Triad made up of the hybrids Lynx, Ferret and Gremlin. Lynx has been pestering every warrior that he wants to go on the next run and finally gets his wish. His teammates, on the other hand, are not happy. They are perfectly content with the easy-going life at the Home. The four are dropped off in a swamp outside New Orleans by one of the Hurricane VTOLs. 
   There they must contend with the cottonmouths, mutant snapping turtles and giant alligators that inhabit the post war swamps. Blade, Ferret and Gremlin are captured by the tonton macoutes. The tonton macoutes are the enforcers for the Black Snake Society which rules New Orleans. The Society is a voodoo cult that rules the city. Lead by Baron Laveau, it sacrifices its victims to their god Damballah, a forty-foot-long giant snake. Now Blade and the mutant hybrids must destroy hundreds of voodoo cultists and take on a giant snake. Just another easy day in the life of a warrior.

  I wish my job as a magical librarian was just about shuffling books and shushing people from behind a desk. Alas, the magic I wrangle requires a bit more than shuffling and shushing. And to make things worse, I have a frog and a cat, and I have no idea how to use them! 
  Sure, I understand, we all have bills to pay. Personally, I could use a bit of extra cash too. But I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t kill for it. At least…not without dark magic influence. And that’s exactly the problem. 
  Dark. Magic. Influence. 
  My first challenge for the day is finding that artifact and putting it under lock and key before it kills anybody else. 
  My second challenge is figuring out how to deal with a bossy frog and a pushy cat. 
  Which of the two do you suppose will give me the bigger headache? 
  Yeah. That’s what I think too. The frog and cat are going to be the death of my sanity. 
  Maybe I should put them under lock and key too.
