Nearly as old as time, Clan Moran has existed in secrecy in the bayous of southern Louisiana. Years after leaving her clan, Bobbie Luckman has been called back. Father and brother murdered, she is the last of the Moran bloodline and must return to become Queen Moran.

Upon arrival she finds her childhood sweetheart, Kangee, isn’t so welcoming, the clan unforgiving, and an interloper trying to step into her brother’s royal shoes. Can she bring the clan back together in time to save them from the threat of the Prophecy of the Moon Revo Su, and an ancient curse?

With illustrative descriptions and sensual imagery, Parker manages to weave a world that is as captivating as it is dangerous. Once you begin reading, you won’t want to stop.

Magnolia Colby joins a dangerous expedition in the Amazon as a substitute photographer. To push the head archeologist, Alex Marcellus, to stay on the team, she lies to him about her relationship with her brother Marcus.

This was an okay read. I wasn’t on the edge of my seat in suspense and the paths it took were kind of predictable to me. The hero and heroine were well developed though and I did enjoy their interaction. I’d definitely read her other works, despite my so-so assessment of this particular story.
