Conjurer At the Crossroads
(2010)(The fourth book in the Ghost Seekers series)
A novel by Melinda Barron
Pebbles Malloy has tried to fight her heritage as a conjurer. She doesn't mind working at her grandmother's shop in the French Quarter, but she doesn't want the responsibilities that come with conjuring. Then she tells the members of the ghost seekers that she can banish an incubus who has decided to target one of the group's lovers. The problem is she doesn't have enough practice to harness her energy, and get rid of the demon for good.
So she promises to meet him at the crossroads, where she will make a pact with him to bear him a child, something he desires more than anything in the world. But as time passes, Pebbles finds out this demon has a tragic past, one that haunts him and keeps him enslaved when he would like nothing more than to reclaim his soul.
Can Pebbles and her fellow Ghost Seekers find a way help the incubus break out of his prison, or will she find herself in his position, lost to an evil presence, mind, body and soul?
