A new krewe called the Predeceased has formed, with the hope that with the help of their patron loa they will be able to call their souls back from the Dreaming. But as the epidemic spreads globally, ShakpanaÕs strength only grows stronger.

Things continue to get worse for Erzulie and her followers in the House of Dahomey. Even her warrior sister-self cannot keep off the pains and troubles that follow each of them like the plague. She fears it may be time to unleash another of her feared personae: Erzulie the Red-Eye, dark lady of sorrows.

After fighting a war for their very existence, Erzulie and Ogun want nothing more than a simple moment of domestic married bliss…but where gods walk, normal life flees, and their neighbor Blaise has found her story to be quite entangled with those of the loa. Will her own love story end as happily as theirs? And does she even want it to?

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! The goddess Erzulie is grieving the loss of one of her husbands, while her remaining spouses are asking themselves if they can remain by her side. 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...

Erzulie and her two sister-selves face off against the god of stories himself, Ananse, in a storytelling battle for the ages! If Erzulie wins, her husband becomes untangled from her houseboat; if Ananse wins, a prize most delectable comes his way. Meanwhile, the souls of the undeceased return to their bodies, and with them the guilt and pain of the memories of what they did during their soulless time.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
