As a mirror reflects one's image, so too do the RavenCroft's of Colorado and the Blackthorne's of Montana. Or do they? Narrator Vortigern Black poses this very question in the second volume of the An Unfortunate Lineage. Taking a leap of faith, a grieving Dante Blackthorne leaves his family home in Kalispell with the desire to protect and serve his country. With the gift to discern thoughts it should be easy, right? Instead, he becomes enmeshed in cleaning up after a drug bust gone bad when the brother to a drug lord is accidentally killed by a civilian.After linking the shooter to Astraia O'Kahner, a housewife, mother, and previous chance encounter, Dante, (aka, Agent Kastle) and his new partner, Agent Ricardo Pegueros, race to place her and her children in witness protection. But where on earth is safe when your wanted dead by the kingpin of a vast global drug cartel? And how do a couple of meddling angels, a bunch of shadowy demons, and a brother with a tortured soul fit in to this story? Narrated briefly by our illustrious Vortigern Black, who is more than happy to share his opinion's about the Blackthorne family, their views, and their abilities, the epic series continues on. Their connection to the RavenCroft cousins becomes clearer as questions regarding the prophecy which links them begin to unfold.
