Acerca de este título
“A riveting read that does not shy away from both the light and the dark aspects of the supernatural.”—Essence (Most Anticipated Books of 2026)
A Book Riot, Reactor, and Read Between the Spines Best Book of the Month Pick!
All are welcome to see the Quarter Queen in her forbidden court . . . at your own peril.
In 1843 New Orleans, Voodoo queen Marie Laveau is feared by all. Her rebellious daughter Ree defies her mother at every turn, until she finds Marie comatose under a wicked curse cast by exiled Voodoo king Jon the Conjurer—Marie’s former teacher, lover, and greatest enemy.
As Ree uncovers dark secrets and faces dangerous enemies, including her childhood friend turned witch hunter, she must confront her mother’s past and her own destiny—or die trying.
Told in alternating timelines between Ree in the present and Marie’s rise to power twenty-five years earlier, The Quarter Queen is an intimate yet epic tale of love, family, power, and the deadly cost of correcting the sins of the past.
