A Consequence of Darkness: A Culinary Fantasy of Spirits, Pie, and Tex-Mex

In the small desert town of Love & War, Texas, broken-hearted pie peddler Gracey Daylittle has closed up her magic bakery. Plagued by self-doubt and haunted by the aromas of fresh-baked pastry, the empathic baker seeks to occupy her days and fill her purpose by taking a homeless young Mitsuo under her wing. On the other side of town, self-proclaimed fox spirit Satsuko is afraid of Mitsuo's new life direction. Frustrated by his choices and worried for their future, Satsuko will do whatever it takes to protect Mitsuo from himself, even if it means playing dirty. But when Satsuko’s meddling prevents the sun from rising over Love & War, Gracey must make a choice: to recover the sun and save her town, or give Mitsuo a chance to discover who he really is. Set against the backdrop of the west Texas Chihuahuan desert, A Consequence of Darkness is the second book in the light fantasy series, Love & War, Tx.
