Possession. Power. Passion. New York Times bestselling
novelist M. J. Rose creates her most provocative and
magical
spellbinder yet in this gothic novel set against the
lavish
spectacle of 1890s Belle Époque Paris.
Sandrine Salome flees New York for her grandmother’s Paris
mansion to escape her dangerous husband, but what she
finds
there is even more menacing. The house, famous for its
lavish art collection and elegant salons, is mysteriously
closed up. Although her grandmother insists it’s dangerous
for Sandrine to visit, she defies her and meets Julien
Duplessi, a mesmerizing young architect. Together they
explore the hidden night world of Paris, the forbidden
occult underground and Sandrine’s deepest desires.
Among the bohemians and the demi-monde, Sandrine discovers
her erotic nature as a lover and painter. Then darker
influences threaten—her cold and cruel husband is tracking
her down and something sinister is taking hold, changing
Sandrine, altering her. She’s become possessed by La Lune:
A
witch, a legend, and a sixteenth-century courtesan, who
opens up her life to a darkness that may become a gift or
a
curse.
This is Sandrine’s “wild night of the soul,” her odyssey
in
the magnificent city of Paris, of art, love, and witchery.
