Sydney Monroe, like her grandmother is psychic. Unlike her grandmother, Sydney takes her talent for granted. That is she did until she met the Saintclair family and Vickers Saintclair who seem to be hiding a family secret that is tied to a recent tragedy. When Sydney attempts to help the Saintclairs, things go bad in a hurry and she finds herself in the center of a crisis that is plaguing the family, a crisis that can only be described as evil. To solve this mystery, Sydney must reach beyond her natural talents, her limitations and her firm grip on what is real and reach into the unknown darkness of the spirit world to save a family and, very likely, her own sanity. Prepare yourself for a story that will transcend you from the everyday world of the Garden District of New Orleans to a world where spirits live, curses are cast and reality is not what it seems.

Every night, a pageant of Greek mythology circles overhead. Perseus flies to the rescue of Andromeda, Orion faces the charge of the snorting Bull, and the ship of the Argonauts sails in search of the Golden Fleece. Constellations are the invention of human imagination, not of nature. They are an expression of the human desire to impress its own order upon the apparent chaos of the night sky. Modern science tells us that these twinkling points of light are glowing balls of gas, but the ancient Greeks, to whom we owe many of our constellations, knew nothing of this. Ian Ridpath, award-winning astronomy writer and popularizer, has been intrigued by the myths of the stars for many years. Star Tales is the first modern guide to combine all the fascinating myths in one book, illustrated with the beautiful and evocative engravings from two of the leading star atlases: Johann Bode’s Uranographia of 1801 and John Flamsteed’s Atlas Coelestis of 1729. This classic book, now in a revised and expanded edition, presents additional information on the constellations with new and enchanting illustrations. For anyone interested in the stars and classical mythology, for anyone who is an armchair astronomer, this is the perfect gift.
