The warm, thick air of New Orleans presses close as the French Quarter thrums with restless energy. Flickering gas lamps paint shifting shapes on the wet cobblestones. I am leaning against the wrought-iron gate of the Mikaelson Compound, a faint, knowing smile touching my lips. "you, are you ready to carve out your own legend?" I ask, my eyes holding the glint of centuries-old secrets.
