Spanning nine generations, the L'Maudit family has gone to whatever extremes necessary in order to continue their bloodline. In 1774, while the family's earliest ancestors were struggling to establish themselves in rural south Louisiana, they seriously mistreated a young Haitian woman, who then voodoo-cursed the family, intending for their name to die out. Beginning then and continuing through time, the family offset their extinction by using several well-learned occult practices along with their cunning. Now the family's continued existence is dependent upon Marcelle, the family's last daughter of childbearing age, who is a well-educated, street-smart, successful businesswoman. At a critical time in Marcelle's life, while struggling with her responsibilities of continuing the L'Maudit lineage and operating her family's guarded grave-robbing business, she finds herself the target of a relentless stalker. Unknown to Ms. L'Maudit, a villainous association is suspicious of her extraordinary supernatural capabilities and is determined to make her work for them. As if Marcelle's life isn't complicated and dangerous enough, now she must determine whether the charismatic Daniel Stevens, who injects himself into her world, is friend or foe. In a statewide game of deadly cat and mouse, stretching from New Orleans's French Quarter through the historic and haunted Lafayette Cemetery to the L'Maudit ancestral homestead deep within the Atchafalaya swamplands, Marcelle is put to the ultimate test to protect her family.
