Marie / Amber Fire

Marie Laveau..she was the bewitching, seductive queen of the voodoos, none in New Orleans could escape her spell. She ruled the city of sin...She shone like a jewel in the squalor and splendor of Old New Orleans: Marie Laveau... pagan priestess, daughter of destiny. Even as a child her special powers threatened the first Queen Marie, her own mother. But neither black magic nor clairvoyance nor voodoo powers alone could have foreseen the tempestuous life she would live, bound heart and soul to that city of sin, though the Civil into a new century. By beauty, sex and magic Marie Laveau insinuated her way into Creole society, the businesswoman who ran a brothel that became a hub of wartime espionage..the healer whose very powers destroyed the only love she ever knew...the Voodoo Queen who mourned her enemies as she buried her friends, the irresistible icon of fire and ice whose secrets were more powerful than death itself!
