To try and understand what is going on in her own story, Erzulie seeks to enlist assistance from the fearsome god of stories: Kwaku Anansi. However, the spider-god has many threads in his web, and who knows what price he may extract in unraveling the secrets of one...

After her encounter with Erzulie, the young girl known as Poquita finally has the strength to stand up to the adoptive family that’s forced her into labor. But is that strength really coming from a benevolent goddess? Or is it the tiny fragment of the Corinthian that’s taken up residence in her life whispering in her ears?

Things are beyond dire for the House of Dahomey, to the point where Erzulie must call upon the most grim and unforgiving of her sister-selves: Marinette of the Dry-Bones, rider of a pale horse and commander of werewolves!

What doctors are calling ÒCotardÕs DelusionÓÑthe disease Latoya contracted from the mysterious bookÑis beginning to spread across the Waking World, trapping the souls of its victims in the Dreaming, so that their corporeal bodies are mere husks, waiting for death to take them. Likewise, Erzulie is still trapped within the Dreaming, and her personality begins to shift, expressing fewer of her love-and -desire qualities, and developing more of her warrior persona, known as Erzulie Dantor. She may not be looking for a fight, but what function does a warrior have outside of battle?

The divine houseboat that is the House of Whispers has always obeyed Erzulie’s commands-but now it has begun its own journey, trapping Erzulie aboard with her ex-husbands…and sailing on a collision course with an entire fleet of ghostly slave ships bound for Guinée, the land of the dead!

The second year of the most innovative series in The Sandman Universe begins with a terrifying upgrade for one of the world’s worst nightmares!

But in the darkness, a rival has arrived to vie for Erzulie’s place. The Corinthian has his eyes on a forgotten piece of real estate in the Dreaming, and he’s not above moving into a fixer-upper, if taking control of it can give him power like Erzulie’s. To fend off this threat, Erzulie will need allies-including the mysterious Papa Midnite and the dangerous Shakpana, the contagious god whose last outbreak nearly destroyed the world! And with friends like those...

The mysterious infection doctors are calling ÒCotardÕs DelusionÓ spreads, trapping countless souls in the Dreaming and leaving their physical bodies yearning for death.

Meanwhile, in the Dreaming, Erzulie Dantor calls her war council of Shakpana, Turtle and Uncle Monday to find a way to take her sister-selfÕs bayou and boat back to their realm. Shakpana, however, seems to be more interested in making his way back to the Waking WorldÉ

Trapped in Guinée, the Land of the Dead, Papa Midnite and Erzulie must join forces to return to their own realms…unfortunately, their mutual foe the trickster god Ananse is in the way, and he’s eager for a rematch!

As the battle rages on in Ananse’s lair, Erzulie makes a spectacular final effort to prevail—but when she multiplies her forces, her authority is divided. With time running out, hundreds of sister-selves must negotiate their powers and learn to work together to free Agwe and turn the tide for the House of Dahomey.

The time has come for both Erzulie and Poquita to take back the power of their twinned Houses…but Anansi will stop at nothing to keep his treasures! The sweeping epic of Erzulie’s war with the trickster god comes to an explosive conclusion!

Young Poquita has fled the abusive foster family thatÕs held her hostage...but in an abandoned refugee prison on the southern border, sheÕll find that her traveling companion is not the kindly, grateful kitten she started the journey with. ItÕs an aspect of the Corinthian made flesh...and Erzulie may not hear her cries in time to intervene!
