THE MIDNIGHT MAN

BOOK TWO OF THE WICCAN CHRONICLES

BY D. A. BARNEY

After witnessing her mother’s death, 4-year-old Dani is left with only her human guardian, Kaitlin, to protect her from The Council and the unrelenting pursuit of The Talisman. The young witch will never experience what it’s like to be a little girl. Instead, she must learn to fight, and perhaps even kill in order to survive. Sadly, as the years pass, the memory of her fleeting childhood will fade, and the love she once held will be replaced with hate. 

Meanwhile, Jean’s body remains comatose inside Hagatha’s cave. With his mind doomed to be tortured by her evil ‘whisperings’, his only refuge is within his dreams. He drifts to the time when he and Kaitlin first met. He willingly loses himself in the wistful reverie of the magical moments they created, right up until that dreadful night when he first encountered a witch. 

In a deliciously dark tale of vengeance, Book Two reveals the tragic story of two damaged souls – one charging carelessly toward her foretold future, with the other spinning blindly in his not so pristine past. Their only chance is to release their hate and save each other – by shining a light into the darkness of “The Midnight Man”.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS

DANI GERARD

BORN: 1995, New Orleans, LA

CLASSIFICATION: Witch

Birthdays are milestone moments for children. Cherished occasions serving as both a reminder and a memento of a special time in one’s life. Growing up on the run can deprive a child of these ceremonial remembrances, but the memory of her 10th birthday in Tomah, Wisconsin is certain to be one this young witch will never forget.

KAITLIN MORRISON

BORN: 1974, Gulfport, Mississippi

CLASSIFICATION: Human

Having become Dani’s surrogate mother, she continually risks her life trying to raise and protect the young witch who may one day change the world. Then in shadows from a forgotten time, a reflection of her younger self lives in Jean’s dream. Together they unveil the dark secrets of the mysterious past they have desperately tried to forget.

JEAN LAVEAU

BORN: 1971, New Orleans, Louisiana

CLASSIFICATION: Human

Jean’s only chance to escape Hagatha is by losing himself in the dream world of his past. His mind drifts to Haiti and the unforgettable day he met a 19-year-old Kaitlin Morrison. He spirals deep into this delusion until he is violently forced out by the memory of a darkness, almost as evil as the one that chased him in.

LUCIEN GERARD (LUC)

BORN: 1995, New Orleans, Louisiana

CLASSIFICATION: Warlock

Camille gave Lucien the power to protect his sister. The problem is that at 10-years-old, it is more power than his body can handle. Each time he uses it causes him more pain than the last. The young warlock truly loves his sister, but sometimes all he wants to do is be a kid. What he fails to understand is that, through all the trials and tribulations Dani faces, she feels the very same way.

JULIEN DUMONT GERARD (J. D.)

BORN: 1974, New Orleans, Louisiana

CLASSIFICATION: Warlock

Barrett sheltered Julien and never let him see the truth of how things really were. He sent him away as a child and they became estranged. Julien vowed he’d never do that to Lucien. He kept him close – too close, perhaps as the young child was exposed to horrors and dangers that no one should ever see. As hard as Julien tried to be different than Barrett, he ended up being just like him.

MS. RAYNA

BORN: Natchitoches, Louisiana (Year Unknown)

CLASSIFICATION: Hybrid: Half Human/ Half Vampire

The often-misunderstood beauty’s fate was decided 16-years-ago by a Tarot Card she pulled from her deck. She can neither outrun it, or hide from it, but she has never been one to run from anything, or anyone. She will face this challenge the same way she has faced everything in her life – audaciously and defiant to the end.

TIRIN

BORN: Somewhere in Louisiana (Year Unknown)

CLASSIFICATION: Alpha Lycan

Camille’s relationship with Tirin changed him in a way that most believed was “better”. He believes that change hampered his ability to protect her, and he holds himself responsible for her death. He vowed her death would be avenged and that he would again become who he was born to be – what he was born to be.  A killer.

MALCOLM TERRENCE

BORN: 1965, Preston, England

CLASSIFICATION: Warlock

He is an extremely talented and dangerous Enforcer for The Council. He carries a particularly strong disliking for Julien and an unnatural reverence for Dani. His interactions with her will leave scars on the young witch’s soul that will never heal.

THE TALISMAN

BORN: 1901, The West Indies

CLASSIFICATION: It is unknown what he has become, but at one point he was a man.

He’s hunted Dani for 16-years and with the help of Kaitlin and Lucien, she’s always managed to escape. Tonight, their story comes to an end. They will meet one final time, in a New Orleans cemetery and neither Kaitlin, nor Lucien will be able to help her. Danielle Gerard is past due, and his boss is calling for her receipt.

HAZEL LAGUERRE

BORN: 1970, New Orleans, Louisiana

CLASSIFICATION: Witch

Her reign of terror was short, but the devastation and trauma left in her wake will leave wounds and scars on Jean and Kaitlin that may never heal.

HAGATHA (LAST NAME UNKNOWN)

BORN: Unknown

CLASSIFICATION: Witch

A low, husky chuckle severed softly through silence. What was nothing is now something. A soft, muffled snicker dissected diligently through the dark. What is something – is now more…

Some types of evil never die.
