After exiting St. Claire House, Marcos hesitated, but only briefly. When the sleek black carriage pulled up, he boarded without waiting for assistance from the driver.

The sooner he left, the sooner he’d return.

He had to make the journey to the Underworld, but his human body was forbidden entrance to that realm. There was only one way to get there, and only one person who could help him.

The Swamp Witch lived in the marshlands west of New Orleans. The journey into the swamps was treacherous enough, but add a black-hearted witch to the mix, and anything could happen.

According to legend, Melba Boucher’s heart was as dark as the swamp she dwelled in.

Melba had no qualms about delving into the obscurity of black magic. She would perform a satanic ritual as casually as she drank homebrewed wine.

Relying on a witch made him nervous. It wasn’t so much that she could wield any power over him. He wasn’t vulnerable to any mortal, witch or not. At least he wasn’t under normal circumstances.

That would change when she sent him into the Underworld. While on this journey, his body would be left defenseless.

He could only hope the witch feared the Dark Prince enough to deter her from mischief.

His thoughts turned to Laurel and the Bourbon Street witches.

Laurel was new to the world of magic, but the other three were already familiar with it. They had been flexing that muscle for a while now. He could only hope they’d grown powerful enough to protect his Laurel while he was gone.

Staring out the window, his mind barely registered the sights of the swamp as they made their way deep into voodoo country.

When had his focus changed?

When had the witch gone from being a troublesome chore, to something more?

Perhaps it was the moment he looked into her eyes and saw how terrified and lost she was, or maybe when he’d kissed her and felt the stirring of something in his heart?

His life meant nothing.

If he were to survive, it would only be so that he could wreak havoc on mankind.

Laurel was different. She had a purpose to her life - a destiny to fulfill. He felt this with every ounce of his being.

Laurel had to live, no matter what the cost.

At the very least, that would mean defying the Dark Prince, possibly even going to war with the being that had sired him.

Exactly how this would play out would greatly depend on what happened during his journey into the Underworld.

His soul already belonged to the Dark Prince; now he may lose his life as well. But if that’s what it took to save Laurel, so be it.
