Author Dena De Clute

THE WRATH OF NIKE is Dena De Clute‘s debut novel. An Adult urban fantasy with a Southern Gothic flavor, it is the first book in the Infinite Crossroads series.

THE WRATH OF NIKE

Fate whispers to the warrior, “You cannot withstand the storm.”

The warrior whispers back, “I am the storm.”

THE WRATH OF NIKE book cover

Grace Mantissa is a spiritwalker who has witnessed her murder throughout the multiverse. She’s relived being shot in the West Texas desert, drowned in the Mississippi River, garroted and kicked into a quarry, even fed to alligators in New Orleans. One way or another, she knows hitmen are coming for her.

Because of her work as an informant for the Houston division of the FBI, she also knows why she’s being targeted. One of the last true travelling clairvoyants of her time, Grace has delivered more intel against the Sweet Sixteen – the Bayou City’s largest network of sex traffickers – than all the other agents combined.

What she doesn’t know is how a dark spirit got involved.

Or why Ian Hunter – a total stranger and possible criminal – has been the only person to change her fate in any parallel world.

Tempting Fate

A war-hardened former Marine and falcon-shifter, Ian is more than capable of protecting Grace. But he’s tortured over the death of his mate in combat. After being court-martialed and discharged, he moved to an inhospitable canyon and basically withdrew from life. If he fails to defend another woman he cares about, they may as well dig two graves.

Across Dimensions

Seeking answers, Grace and Ian travel to the Crossroads in another dimension and discover their connection is more twisted than they realized. Whether they attempt to battle her human enemies – or risk both their lives by taking the fight to the spirit world – it’s only a matter of time before fate catches up with them both.
