A budding sorcerer, an ex-cat, and a fake duke take on a series of murderous, ghostly attacks on a retired ocean liner--what could possibly go wrong?
Newly appointed by the Magical Council as the (entirely fake) Duke of Winchester, Armand LeRoy already has his hands full reluctantly learning how to fit in with the wealthy and famous. One last assignment in his old job as an akukar (a fighter of demons and bad magic) doesn't sound that bad, especially when he's going to be accompanied by his new love, Annabella.
But when Annabella and Armand reach the Queen Mary, the luxurious former ocean liner now turned into an impressive hotel and museum, they find that the stories of out-of-control ghosts haven't gone far enough. Terrors are stirring, from the miles of deeply-carpeted hallways and elegant staterooms to the polished-wood floors of the Grand Salon. It seems the spirits are tired of being overlooked--and this time they're going to have their say in blood.
As the attacks grow more vicious and Annabella starts to be influenced by these voices from the past, can she and Armand fight them with just the help of a solicitor, his now-human ex-dog, Armand's ex-cat, a strangely-knowing little old lady, and a few others the ship seems to call much too loudly? They'd better, because what's stirring isn't human, and, if they lose, they may well find themselves trapped in a timeline which never even happened--or worse.
Sorcerers, Spirits, and Ships is a perfect introduction to the More in Heaven and Earth universe. Old readers will delight in a new outing with Armand and Annabella from Moonlight, Magnolias, and Magic, while new readers can easily enjoy the loads of quirky humor, romance, and chilling suspense of this ghost story meets funny, magical murder mystery.
On a Katherine Gilbert wackiness scale of 1-to-10 sarcastic talking cats*, this one is a 7.
*Warning: Not all stories contain talking cats. Wackiness may take other forms.
The More in Heaven and Earth series is all set in the same magical universe filled with angels, witches, werewolves, demons, vampires, ghosts, and many other supernatural creatures. These intriguing tales can be read in any order or as stand-alones and will introduce the reader to a variety of fascinating characters throughout the many unique locales of this exciting world.
