Summary

Brigitte Fitzpatrick Laveau is about 99% sure she's cursed. As Senior Pilgrim of Detroit, she's supposed to be keeping humanity--and magic folks--safe from each other. Instead, she's babysitting fallen gods, dodging djinn trying to con her, and finding homes for orphaned seers. Why is it her job to keep Detroit running smoothly? Oh, right: It's the family business. So now--because she's a good daughter, thank you very much--she has accepted her fate to become the next Divine Arbiter. With more magic come more problems. Problems like sirens being murdered across Detroit, problems that feel a little too personal and a whole lot bloodier than she bargained for. It's going to take more than a shot of luck in her latte to bring them justice.
