the bayou covenant: book 1

Book One - The Bayou CovenantGabe Thibodeaux buried his grandmother on a Tuesday. By Thursday, she was calling his name from outside his bedroom window.He left Bellerose, Louisiana, at eighteen and swore he wasn't coming back. But his grandmother's house is full of secrets she never told him - old maps of the bayou, photographs of the dead standing very much alive, and a locked box bearing four family symbols. One of them is his.Three other families in town are keeping the same secret: a covenant struck generations ago, a barrier beneath the water that's meant to be renewed every twenty-five years - and hasn't been, not properly, in fifty. Something ancient is waking beneath the cypress, and it wants what it was promised.Now Gabe has days, not years, to learn the truth his family buried with his grandmother - before the bayou collects on a debt four generations old."Some debts don't stay buried."
