Azriel, Servant of the Bones, powerful, dark and luminous, is a ghost, a demon, an angel. He finds himself in present-day New York a dazed witness to the murder of a young girl, and inexplicably obsessed by the desire to avenge her.
Azriel's astonishing journey takes us back to his mortal youth in the magnificence of ancient Babylon. There he is plucked from death by evil priests and sorceresses and transformed into a genie commanded to do their bidding. But Azriel challenges these forces of destruction, and embarks on his journey through time. As his quest approaches its climactic horror, Azriel at least dares to use his supernatural powers in the hope of forestalling a world-threatening conspiracy, and finally redeeming what was denied him so long ago: his own eternal soul.
The Feast of All Saints
New Orleans before the Civil War - raw, legendary, sensual. Amongst the waterfronts, the skets and the gilded ballrooms lived a unique people, descended from African slaves and from the French and Spanish who had enslaved them. They were the gens de couleur libre - the Free People of Colour - fierce and proud, neither black nor white, but caught between the two, free and yet not free.
Out of this race came Marcel, the mesmeric copper-skinned youth adored by all yet dreaming of distant lands, and his sister Marie, who longed for love and marriage in a world ready to sell her to the highest bidder. Like all their people, they were caught perilously between the worlds of master and slave, privilege and oppression, passion and pain.
