When Dr. Chantel Baptiste returns to New Orleans searching for answers about her missing uncle, Emmanuel, she expects to uncover family secrets.
She never expects to inherit them.
Years earlier, Emmanuel lost ownership of the Baptiste family home, leaving Raymond as the property's unsuspecting landlord. But hidden inside the aging house is something far more valuable-and far more dangerous-than the property itself: an antique grandfather clock that has been guarded by Chantel's bloodline for generations.
She never expects to inherit them.
Years earlier, Emmanuel lost ownership of the Baptiste family home, leaving Raymond as the property's unsuspecting landlord. But hidden inside the aging house is something far more valuable-and far more dangerous-than the property itself: an antique grandfather clock that has been guarded by Chantel's bloodline for generations.
The clock once belonged to Madame Awa Baptiste, a powerful woman who trapped violent and restless spirits inside it more than a century ago. After Awa's death, the responsibility of protecting those souls passed quietly through the Baptiste family.
Now Emmanuel is gone.
And the clock is waking up.
As strange events begin surrounding Chantel, people closest to her are pulled into its darkness, and Aunt Celestine reveals a truth the family has kept hidden for generations: Chantel is not simply Emmanuel's niece.
She is the next Guardian.
Forced to confront spirits born from New Orleans' darkest history, Chantel must learn to trust a power she never knew she possessed before the evil trapped inside the clock escapes completely.
But some spirits have waited more than a hundred years for freedom.
And one of them has been waiting specifically for her.
The Baptiste Guardian is a supernatural Southern gothic story of family secrets, ancestral power, buried history, and a woman discovering that sometimes an inheritance isn't something you receive.
Sometimes it's something you survive
