Have Augury, Will Travel - More in Heaven and Earth

"I fear thee, ancient Mariner!"--or so Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote in his poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," centuries ago.

Little did anyone who met the mariner know just how much there was to fear.

For Seok Kim (S.K.) Jones, poems are only for the rich. As a guy who's lived on the fringes all his life, that was never his concern. But when a criminal named "Nightshade"--who's crazy enough to call himself a "wizard" (everyone knows there are only witches and sorcerers)--tells him he has a right to S.K's soul and steals a young girl he has sworn to protect, S.K. has to act, even if he has no idea how real poetry is about to get for him.

When S.K. meets the fiercely-beautiful and ultra-competent sorcerer, Layla Farouq, while on a mission for Nightshade, he's bewitched. And, when she decides that he works for her now, he isn't certain he wants to object.

But working for Layla means searching for relics of the Ancient Mariner, a man who's supposedly only fictional. When S.K. realizes why they need to find them, as well as why he has an ancient poem haunting his mind, he also has to accept that his past is not what he thought--and his future depends entirely on being able to escape a curse he had no idea he was under.

By turns laugh-out-loud funny, deeply gothic and chilling, and warmly romantic, Have Augury, Will Travel will take you to a place where poetry becomes all too real, and curses can live for centuries.
