Santa Maria Archives By James M. Sullivan 2007 - Consequences Santa Maria is a large fictional city on the coast of Northern California with perhaps more secrets than anyone would expect from such a young city. It is much more than knowing the best coffee can be found at University Square or that the plain brown building just south of Mission Maria de Guadalupe Park is where you can find perhaps the best Chinese food on the West Coast. It is even much more than knowing whatever you happen to be looking for often shows up at Nostrum's Books, Antiques, & Curios. Bree Montgomery and Rodrigo Valencia are both beginning to learn these secrets and discovering they have some themselves and that their fate is tied up with the fate of Santa Maria and they are a bigger part of Santa Maria's history and mystery than they could ever have imagined. 01 - Awakenings 02 - Discoveries 03 - Returns 04 - Favors 05 - Tensions 06 - Connections 07 - Worries 08 - Answers 09 - Conversations 10 - Plights 11 - Decisions 12 - Battles 2008 - Retribution Santa Maria is a large fictional city on the coast of Northern California with perhaps more secrets than anyone would expect from such a young city.

The city's guardian, Mackenzie Nolan, along with a band of friends thwarted the corruption of the Ghost Lords, but that war culminated in a destructive earthquake and the loss of the magical power of Santa Maria. With the power gone, most of the supernaturals left. It also left the city and its citizens vulnerable to a great evil, which claimed many lives in very violent ways. After many bloody battles, the evil was vanquished. The city's power has returned because of a Kindler, Rodrigo Valencia. With the city's power returned, the magical community has come back to rebuild and Rodrigo and his boyfriend, the new leader of the Gamin, plan to raise a very special baby, Helen, daughter of the late Bree Montgomery. However, the vanquished evil has left it's toll on the city and it seems an old enemy may be the only solution. 25 - Changes 26 - Unions 27 - Introductions 28 - Omens 29 - Encounters 30 - Stars 31 - Strife 32 - Revelations 33 - Chases 34 - Connections
