A stone man cannot exist without love. But souls connect across a chasm of hundreds of years to wake a creature lost beyond the realms of this world.

After he loses the spark of love that kept him alive, Dolion’s personal tragedy freezes him in stone form. After a short eternity as his base nature, the frozen Gargoyle's heart thaws and he wakes to find a world nearly two hundred yearls later changed around him, and a grieving, suicidal immortal friend who hates humanity its impermanence while they live on into eternity.

Waking in a 1929’s prohibition New Orlean’s determined not to conform to the alcohol ban, Dolion struggles to accept the new world turned on without him. Living in an advanced time is like learning a new language and culture all over again, and without the bubbly maid he thought would be at his side throughout a single lifetime, taken too early by an enemy already removed.

When a spate of fires breaks out in the French Quarter where rumors of a mythical beast abound, Dolion and Sebastian team up as a distraction to their grief. Encountering a sharp-tongued barmaid and a bored madam with a penchant for voodoo, they seek a way to save New Orleans from a creature more ancient than both of them, and rediscover an ember of love in the process.
