Beschreibung

The Blazing Louisiana Sun is a haunting tale of forbidden love, ancient mysteries, and dark family secrets set against the sultry backdrop of Louisiana's bayous. Lazare has always lived in the shadow of his family's magical practices and the inheritance of powerful prayers only given to a chosen few. But when he becomes entangled with Yvette, a beautiful and mysterious hoodoo practitioner, he is exposed to a world of hidden mysticism and dangerous truths about his family's legacy. Lazare and Yvette have been inexplicably drawn to each other, their passion an elemental force as primal as the swamps that birthed them. But their blossoming romance is forbidden by Yvette's grandfather, the ominous Chickenman, who wields control over the isolated bayou town like an ancient voodoo priest. When Lazare is viciously attacked for defying the family's ironclad edicts, he finds himself swept up in a maelstrom of secrets and esoteric power struggles dating back generations.Cursed bloodlines, restless spirits, and a primordial force straight out of arcane tomes conspire to tear the star-crossed lovers apart. Fighting for their lives and love, Lazare and Yvette must confront the haunted legacy of their pasts and the inescapable pull of their destinies. For an ancient, slumbering energy has been roused.Steeped in a rich Cajun atmosphere and infused with elements of magical realism, this immersive 90,000-word novel transports you into a world where family secrets and prejudices cast long shadows, and love meets the ultimate test against the unrelenting tide of fate, forbidden romance, and occult mysterys, deep in the lush Southern gothic atmosphere of Louisiana

Autor

These days, Darrel makes his home in Nevada, though he grew up far from the desert sands, hills and mountains. He was raised by a proud Cajun family in the Heart of Acadiana - in a tiny town called Carencro, hugging the outskirts of Lafayette, Louisiana.He has always prided himself on being a storyteller. In his own words " This story is merely a work of fiction spun from imagination. However, the very act of storytelling transported me back to my roots. With each word, I could almost taste the rich, spicy gumbo and hear the lyrical Cajun French blending with English all around me. The characters may have been invented, but they moved through a landscape etched into my soul. I could vividly picture the moss-draped cypress trees standing sentinel over bayous that serpentine through the lush green world of my childhood. The familiar scents of filé gumbo and my grandmother's biscuits the size of a man's hand seemed to waft up from the pages. Drawing from those indelible memories reconnected me to the Cajun culture that shaped who I am. While Nevada's vast open beauty stretches all around me now, a piece of my heart will forever remain in those bayous and back roads of Acadiana. This fictional tale became a winding path leading me right back to the rich heritage I'll always call home.
