Description
Step into an alternate 1860s New Orleans where the Civil War’s fractures are mirrored by the meddling of ancient gods and the dangerous politics they inspire. When a young street urchin called Creeper dares to chase a rumored orisha artifact said to open a path to the sky, her dream of escape pulls her into a web of bargains, betrayals, and divine consequences. As she navigates shifting loyalties among mortals and deities alike, Creeper discovers that ambition is never free—and that faith can be both refuge and weapon. Blending historical atmosphere with supernatural intrigue, this novella delivers a fast, thrilling journey through power, devotion, and the cost of getting what you want.
