Orion's life has been intertwined with spirits at the L'Enfant Haven plantation in Louisiana since he was three. When his drug-addicted mother could not provide the nurturing her son needed, the ghosts helped to care for and raise him to be the man he is today - Orion Aniston Labauve, Finder of Things and People - at least that's what his business card says.

Orion's life drastically changed after his twenty-fifth birthday in 1982, when he became aware of the true extent of his extraordinary talents enhanced by a Voodoo Spirit God, who has his own mysterious agenda for providing these endowments. Orion uncovers a shocking truth about the grandmother he never knew, a Voodoo Imperatice with immense magical influences. For decades, she has been manipulating the Labauve family, all in the pursuit of producing an heir with the unique capacity she needs to wield the power of the Labauve Signet over spirits. In her relentless quest for control, she is willing to subject both the living and the dead to unimaginable torment.

Orion Labauve is haunted by dreams of a frightened child left alone in a house. He believes the child is a ghost because he can't find him with any of his Finding abilities.

While seeking to heal the damage to his arm resulting from the psychic battle with his grandmother, he meets Seren Griffyths, a woman he is drawn to in ways he does not understand.

When Seren asks him to help investigate a haunted house he meets the ghost boy from his dreams. Orion's promise to find the boy's mother leads Orion and Seren on an adventure that will change both of their lives in ways they could not imagine and will expose new powers beyond those Duke Shemadi gave him.

The veil between the living and the dead has fractured--and it's Orion Labauve's job to close it.

As a professional Finder and a Spirit Speaker, who can see, speak to, and channel the dead, Orion Labauve walks a fine line between control and chaos. This time, however, organized and enraged spirits are not the usual scattered souls seeking closure that he has encountered in the past.

A crime lord stripped of voodoo protection and desperate for revenge hires another Spirit Speaker to haunt Orion to death. Hundreds of ghosts, a demon sealed in a Witching Crystal, and a half-million-dollar bounty set a ticking time bomb. The town of Madreville becomes ground zero for a war between ghosts, demons, and ordinary people. To stop the uprising, Orion must perform the most perilous act of his life. The physical and psychological cost could destroy him. If he fails, the dead will remain unbound--and the town will fall.
