A haunted past, a cursed family, and a dangerous secret.
In the fall of 1962, Jemma Barker is desperate to escape her life in Chicago—and the spirits only she can see. When she’s offered a job by the wealthy Duchon family in New Orleans, she thinks it’s a chance for a fresh start. But the Duchons are not what they seem.
Light enough to pass as white, the Duchons look down on brown-skinned Jemma, and their eccentricity hides a deeper truth: the family is cursed, and they believe Jemma holds the power to break it.
As Jemma uncovers secrets that stretch back over a century, she must confront the gift she’s always feared. If she fails, the Duchons’ fate—and her own—may be sealed forever.
Will Jemma survive long enough to break the curse?
