Mystic Caravan has hit Texas, and things are supposed to be quiet in Austin. The only thing of note in a city that praises itself for being weird is the nest of vampires that rules the town. They're not the ones wreaking havoc this time, however. Poet Parker knows something is up when a walk near the river results in an attack from a manic man with an ax. When he disappears just as quickly as he appeared, however, she knows something magical is afoot. It seems Austin is trapped in the clutches of a bored being, and her way of entertaining herself includes bringing urban legends to life...and unleashing them on the city. Poet has fought every type of magic imaginable, but this one leaves her flummoxed. It's almost as if she's dealing with a child mentally. Magically, however, she's dealing with a monster. Urban legends aren't the only thing putting Austin in an uproar. The visiting loas-both of whom are there for Poet-are also drawing attention...and from all the wrong people. Some magics are too strong to fight. Poet is not the sort of hero who can turn her back on people in need, however. Even if it means putting herself at risk to save them. Poet has new magic at her disposal. Now she has to learn how to use it...or they will all perish. It's a fight to the finish, and who will come out on the other side is anybody's guess.
