In the gas-lit streets of 1830s New Orleans, every piece of silk hides a secret, and every shadow tells a lie.
Vivi St. James is the "Last Pearl" of her family's prestigious modiste, a girl destined for the glittering ballrooms of the French Quarter. But the St. James legacy is not built on beauty alone. It is held together by an "Iron" resolve and a debt ten generations deep-a curse of emerald eyes and a "life for a life" bargain that has finally come due.
When Vivi is found breathless on the banks of the Mississippi, the city mourns a tragic accident. But Vivi is not gone. Trapped as a "Mist Person" between the world of the living and the deep silence of the dead, she discovers a devastating truth: her death was no accident, but the final price demanded by an ancient debt.
To save what remains of her bloodline, Vivi must reach across the veil to Jordan-the brother she never knew existed. A boy of the swamp with a leather patch over a secret he doesn't yet understand, Jordan is the only one who can help Vivi break the Emerald Thread. In finding him, the treacherous waters of a vengeance that spans centuries and the iron-walled secrets of Rue Royale will finally be revealed.
In a city where the dead never truly leave, Vivi must untangle a web of century-old secrets and confront her family's legacy before the shadows claim the only person she has left to save.
A haunting Gothic tale of legacy, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between siblings, The Emerald Thread explores the price of freedom in a world where the past refuses to stay buried.
