The Crossing of Old Lady Probert (A Short Story from The Spirals of Danu Book 3)

“You think that all mystics are frauds, peddling baubles and trinkets?”

Dr Odd’s Curiosity Spectacular is on the verge of ruin and only a successful Christmas tour of Florida will recover its depleted coffers. Yet when the owner, Mark Baker, seeks permission from the local crime lord, Gershom Eldritch, to put on his show, the price he must pay is not what he expected.

For Gershom is already at war with the local fortune-teller, Old Lady Probert, and their battle is for more than land and power, but for the heart of a nation.

Desperate not to repeat the mistakes of his past, Mark must face the consequences of a deal with forces beyond his comprehension and fight to contain arcane powers that threaten to consume not only him and his family but every soul in the state.
