While leading a late-night tour of a haunted New Orleans cemetery, Wiccan priestess Lilly meets a mysterious woman she calls the Mambo. Restlessly wandering through the crumbling old cemetery, the Mambo has forgotten the ancient magic in her blood, the gift of eternal life from a tincture given to her 2000 years ago. It's hard to hold the memories of two thousand years in a human brain.
Lost in grief and longing for her deceased children, the Mambo lingers at her children's graves, talks to their spirits, and brings toys and offerings to entice them to stay close.
Lilly, with the help of the present-day Vodou Queen and the high priestess Jolene, helps the ancient woman remember the many adventures of her long life and the power she has gathered through the centuries.
A cult called The Crimson Monks believes the Mambo holds the key to the ancient Anunnaki tincture that promises immortality. Feared by those who cross their path, the Crimson Monks possess the Spear of Destiny - a powerful weapon that destroys life and soul in one fell swoop. They have one mission, destroy the woman they believe holds the last vial of tincture and gift themselves with eternal life.
When the Crimson monks block the Mambo's access to her children's spirits and banish her from the cemetery unless she gives them the tincture, she seeks the help of the witches of Panthea's Coven. Together they work to defeat the Crimson monks and free the planet from their evil threat. The most powerful members of Panthea's Coven search for the one thing that can protect them from the spear of destiny and allow them to defeat the monks: the shield of the Black Forest Fae.
Can the witches overpower the demons guarding the shield? Can they create a ritual strong enough to defeat the Crimson monks?
Or will the struggle for the tincture destroy all who surround it?
Lilly, Roland, Aunt Pearl, Jolene, James, and the rest of Panthea's Coven return in this second book of the Perils of a Pagan Princess series by Hannah Desmond. Each book is its own unique adventure.
