Book Description:
Celestine, witch and wolf shifter has a talent for prophetic drawings. She’s shocked when she draws her landlord Ray with his eyes gouged out and a strange winged-mermaid leaning over him. Later she finds an eyeless Ray dead on the sidewalk. All she wanted to do was open a gallery, but first she must apprehend his killer. In a note she found after he died, Ray revealed he wasn’t just a leather-smith but a supernatural pirate mage. Years back, his Jekyll crew trapped the evil Demon Three Eyes clan. Ray had feared they’d escaped, were stalking him, and would soon wreak havoc on Savannah.
Oryn, a fellow student in Celestine’s continuing ed art class, is a fae and a thorn in her side, when he asks nosy questions about the case. Yet, she’s drawn to him when he’s her masseur at the spa she frequents, and he’s clever at brainstorming leads regarding Ray’s case. He insists his air magic could come in handy.
When pirates in Ray’s old crew are murdered, their body parts stolen, Celestine puts more horrifying clues together. She’ll need everyone on board, including Oryn and Luna, a mermaid asking to show her sea-glass sculptures at Celestine’s new gallery—the very same mermaid in Celestine’s tragic drawing of Ray. Otherwise, the lethal monstrosity Demon Three Eyes is unleashing on Savannah will destroy the city and everyone in it.

Mics were thrust inher face as she stepped toward the front stairs.

“How do you feelabout Ray Bartello’s murder?”

“Do you have astatement for the press?”

“Is it true that yourdrawing predicted Bartello’s death?”

“Why would you drawhim eyeless?”

“Are you themurderer?”

She waited until thatlast crappy question—more an accusation—to say anything. Then she stared at thereporter. With scalding rage contained in a deceptively quiet hiss, she said,“Ray Bartello was a good friend of mine. I’m heartbroken by his passing.”

She glanced at Orynfor moral support. His slightly narrowed eyes seemed to say, Go slow, you don’towe them. She agreed. After the supernatural attacks, she was not going to hintthat she knew a damn thing, because the more that bad entities knew she wastrying to figure out the case, the more they would try to maul, even kill her.Oryn gave a faint nod, his eyes tinting green. She went on.

“I know nothing abouthow this happened. You could camp here for days, and I still couldn’t tell youmore. The proper place to provide any tips or leads is to the Savannah Police.”

As she pushed throughthe group, Oryn walked slightly behind her, since the reporters were busyphotographing them together, no doubt fuel for salacious media.

“How do you know MissLeBlanc? Are you dating her?” some ballsy reporter asked Oryn. He didn’tanswer.

“Did you know RayBartello? Did you or Miss LeBlanc have a fight earlier on the day he wasfound?” asked another.

“Can you tell usanything more about the case?” asked a third.

Oryn face wrinkled indisgust. “Look, Miss LeBlanc needs peace. She’s said what she can. Yes, we’refriends, not that it’s your business,” he added sharply. “You may as well goget some sleep. Camping out here won’t get you what you seek.” He swept his armaround

Celestine, and theyhurried up the stone stairs leading to her place.

Oryn stopped on thestoop while Celestine unlocked the door. “So, I’ll see you at class tomorrow?Will you be okay?” he asked. “If you want, I can cast a few air wards aroundthe house so you can get a worry-free night’s sleep. Otherwise—”

“It’s not your job toprotect me,” she said, gazing up at him and realizing how very much taller hewas, next to her five-foot, seven-inch frame. Good goddess, the man must be sixand a half feet tall if he’s an inch.
