    About this ebook

    Fate decides where you go when you die. Renai makes damn sure you get there

    Renaissance Raines has found her place among the psychopomps—the guides who lead the souls of the recently departed through the Seven Gates of the Underworld—and done her best to avoid the notice of gods and mortals alike. But when a young boy named Ramses St. Cyr manages to escape his foretold death, Renai finds herself at the center of a deity-thick plot unfolding in New Orleans. Someone helped Ramses slip free of his destined end—someone willing to risk everything to steal a little slice of power for themselves.

    Is it one of the storm gods that’s descended on the city? The death god who’s locked the Gates of the Underworld? Or the manipulative sorcerer who also cheated Death? When she finds the schemer, there’s gonna be all kinds of hell to pay, because there are scarier things than death in the Crescent City. Renaissance Raines is one of them.

      Having finally gotten around to reading this novel, two thoughts come to mind. One, I regret not reading it sooner, as this is really excellent story, as one follows the destiny of Renaissance Raines, the young woman who was "fridged" in the author's first novel, only to be resurrected as a guide to the dead, and who now finds herself stuck with the problem of a person who has dodged their own destiny with death. Two, I hope that there's more from Camp in the future, as I found it very emotionally satisfying. About the only thing that I can mark this book down for is that there is a little too much misdirection, but without all the misdirection the story just wouldn't work.
