New Orleans is a city full of folklore, history, and exotic traditions. French mingled with Anglo American and Voudou traditions, wealth and poverty, all in one jammed city which was briefly destroyed then brought back to life. At least partially. The dams broke, of course, and much of the old city was wiped out but the people have begun to rebuild. At the center of this story are the warlocks, the sorcerers, the witches, the practicioners of Voudou and the mundanes struggling to live under them.
Fiona Goode continues the "Academy for Gifted Young Girls", and has already brought many interesting students to mentor. This year however, there's a specific "Clan" of male warlocks who are negotiating important pacts with Fiona Goode, protecting her in exchange for knowing important things and for having both her favor and obligation under their belts. Warlocks aren't supposed to exist the same way that the witches of Salem do. None of the gifted boys are descended from anyone in Salem, and that's bewildering.
However, this wandering clan of Nomad witch boys presents the perfect opportunity to purchase some needed firepower. Fiona Goode has already attracted far too much attention from Witch Hunters, the Voudou religion in New Orleans, and other sources. This may be suspicious but she has seen for her own eyes that the magic these young warlocks possess is genuine, just like a witch'es. In the shadows lurk the Sorcerers. Those who gain their spells from Grimoires and the seeking of knowledge. Sorcerers, don't need to be born with the gift, all they need is the correct training and knowledge. Fiona Goode and Myrtle, and Cordelia are the only folk in the School who know of Sorcerers.
Genuinely, warlocks and witches who attempt to supplement their power with Sorcery and the learning of magic from ancient tomes face much worse risks of a horrifying fate than a man or woman who just wishes to learn the powers from the supernatural world.
