Love's Path To Now

Beschreibung

With parallel stories playing out in both contemporary and historical times, the third installment of THE FABLE AVENUE SAGA is an epic tale continuing author Justin Thomas' Black Speculative Fiction conjure series. ON FABLE AVENUE the search for the conjure children abducted by Stanley Fallows' needlemen and night doctors continues, as he and his wife siphon power and essence from the young ones, configured into flowers, drained from their colorful petals. Lillian Eledas-Ghedemere, called Voodoo Lily, takes her rightful place as the newly crowned Crossroads Queen. Spearheading a reconquest of WATER BUG HOLLOW with her consort, Armand Gideon, as they search for the buried and hexed bones of a murdered political to disperse the cursed fog that keeps the area locked in poverty and gang violence. Gordon Goodspeed works overtime, operating alongside his brother's crew, The Gypsy Moon Misfits, in search of the kidnapped children and fighting off Stanley Fallows' new rogues' gallery of formidable Blood Cursers. Using his conjure-tech device named Spook, he also dreams of history in an attempt to locate Lady Arachne's missing Lovers card to complete her ancient tarot deck. His dreaming unravels a fairy-tale-like epic that begins in a time considered myth among conjure folk and continues into the 17th century to the stars above AFRICA, where two tricksters clash in ideologies amid the terrible, African slave trade. Pinpointing the whereabouts of The Lovers card gives Gordon belief that its use in ritual will bring back his sweetheart, Fey Forrester, and her cosmic, cobalt-blue flame spirit. As he observes players in history positioned around the ancient, powerful tarot card, he gathers clues from each viewing on how and where The Lovers make their journey to now...
