The Whistler
A Paranormal Historical Romance Thriller by A.A. Lewis
What happens when true love becomes the crime that curses your soul for eternity?
Set in the rich, mystical backdrop of late 1800s New Orleans, The Whistler tells the haunting story of Josiah Planter, a hardworking dockhand who wants nothing more than a simple life. Josiah’s world is upended when he falls for the forbidden Celeste Boudreaux, a captivating young woman from a legendary bloodline of conjures, whose roots predate the city's very name.
Drawn together by an undeniable force, Josiah and Celeste's love burns bright, but their passion defies powerful warnings and ancient magic. When fate takes a dark turn, Josiah is betrayed, broken, and cursed by the Boudreaux line, doomed to spend eternity wandering the French Quarter as something no longer fully human.
Now, part spirit and part incubus, Josiah becomes The Whistler - a soul-devouring entity who lures victims with an eerily seductive melody that sounds as if he's whistling your name. By the time you hear it, it’s already too late.
Bound by lust and tormented by the fading memory of love, Josiah searches desperately for a way to break the curse before he loses what’s left of his humanity. But with every passing year, the line between man and monster blurs.
Sensual, chilling, and steeped in the dark magic of New Orleans lore, The Whistler is a tale of love, betrayal, and erotic obsession that will leave you breathless and haunted long after the final page.
