"¿No estás harto de tener miedo? ¿No quisieras tener la certeza, por primera vez en tu vida, de que no estás loco? ¿De que todo lo que ves y lo que te pasa... es real?" Durante casi toda su vida, Elisse ha sido acosado por criaturas horripilantes que al parecer nadie más puede ver ni escuchar. Desesperado por huir tanto de ellas como de su pasado decide marcharse de la mística India, el país donde estuvo refugiado, para sumergirse dentro de la Gran Hechicera Nueva Orleans. ¿Su única esperanza? Rencontrarse con su padre, quien por motivos desconocidos tuvo que abandonarlo siendo apenas un bebé. Pero lo que él no sabe es que en esa ciudad sepultada por una misteriosa niebla y devorada por furiosos huracanes, se encontrará con mucho más que las respuestas a los enigmas de su inquietante vida: un secreto, tan ancestral como extraordinario, que se oculta entre los pantanos de Luisiana, en los muros helados del cementerio de Saint Louis y hasta en su propia sangre. Mitos, cultos y leyendas. La humanidad tiene miles, pero Elisse está a punto de descubrir que sólo existe una verdad. Los abismos lo observan. Sus pesadillas lo persiguen. Y ahora, su instinto lo guiará a la batalla. ¿Tienes el valor de entrar en su mundo?
