A city reborn in fire. A woman reborn in courage. A love that refuses to die.
New Orleans, 1788 - A city of music and shadow, of silk and secrets, now burns beneath the Spanish crown. When the great fire devours the Presbytère, Celeste Olivier races into the flames to save the innocent - and awakens a darker power buried within her immortal heart.
Beside her stands Jacques, her soldier, merchant, vampire husband, whose steady strength hides a past steeped in war and blood. Together, they rise from the ashes to rebuild not only their home but a sanctuary for every woman cast aside by the world - the House of Olivier, born in defiance of empire.
But beneath the city's ruin, something older stirs. The mark of a raven. An eye within flame. A secret cult whispering that the fire was no accident. To protect her people, Celeste must walk the knife's edge between light and shadow, faith and forbidden magic, and confront the ancient hunger that watches her from the dark. Danger burns. Desire smolders. Redemption rises.
Step once more into the gothic heart of New Orleans, where love is rebellion and even ashes remember the shape of wings.Also from
