The novel 'Search for the Signet' launches the Orion Labauve series, focusing on a protagonist whose life is steeped in supernatural elements from birth. Orion was conceived through magical manipulations and raised among ghosts at the L'Enfant Haven plantation in Louisiana, where spirits bound by an old curse possessed unusual abilities. From age three, he could see, hear, and communicate with these ghosts, learning their histories and connections to his family.
Orion's powers expanded significantly after his twenty-fifth birthday in 1982, when he discovered his enhanced talents were linked to a Voodoo Spirit God known as 'The Duke,' who has independent agendas. This revelation thrust him into a deeper understanding of his magical heritage and the forces shaping his destiny. The narrative gains complexity as Orion uncovers that his grandmother, whom he never knew, is the powerful Voodoo Imperatrice.
Her attempt to use him to control spirits through the Labauve Signet forces Orion into a moral dilemma: he must find the Signet and potentially destroy everything he cherishes to thwart her plans. This conflict underscores themes of power, family loyalty, and the ethical use of magic, resonating with readers interested in fantasy that explores cultural and supernatural traditions. The book is available through Foolscap and Quill, an independent publisher with over 35 years of experience in selling books, ebooks, and audiobooks.
