Tormented by the fate she condemned her mother to, Adele scours Storm-ravaged New Orleans for the truth about her family’s magical past.
Isaac tries relentlessly to keep her from exploring paths too dark that would endanger them all, but every turn leads her back to the one person she’s determined to forget: Niccolò Medici.
In this spellbinding continuation of The Casquette Girls saga, Adele must draw on the past—from seventeenth-century Florence, a time bubbling with alchemy and fraternal betrayal—and sort history from fantasy if she is to have any chance of saving her mother, her coven, and her magic.
*“In this Southern Gothic love letter . . . Arden spins out a moody tale of magic and mystery . . . A thoroughly satisfying page-turner.” – Publishers Weekly on The Casquette Girls
After the storm of the century rips apart New Orleans, sixteen-year-old Adele Le Moyne wants nothing more than her now silent city to return to normal. But with a parish-wide curfew, a climbing murder rate, and mysterious new faces lurking in the abandoned French Quarter, normal needs a new definition.
Caught in a hurricane of myths and monsters, Adele must untangle a web of magic that weaves back to her own ancestors. Who can she trust when everyone has a secret and keeping them can mean life or death? Unless...you're immortal.
