Grace

Jacob Smith rides again, partnered this time with Christopher Freeman. The two Templars make their way south to Arkansas, only to be diverted by rampant racism and an ominous force that still lingers after the War of Rebellion.

The New Orleans Zombie Riot of 1866

On the eve of the Louisiana Constitutional Convention, Jacob Smith and his cohort Christopher Freeman have been sent to New Orleans to meet their contact in the Pinkerton Detective Agency and collect a dangerous Voodoo artifact that inflicts "zombie-ism" on whomever it scratches.

But, when a ruthless group of ex-Confederate soldiers ambush them and steal the relic, the two Knights Templar must join forces with Agent Charlotte Gibson to stop what could quite possibly be the worst outbreak of "yellow fever" New Orleans has ever seen.

With the city quarantined, the Catholic Church begging for help exorcising demons, and hordes of Afflicted roaming the streets, Jacob, Christopher, and Charlotte have their work cut out for them.
