New Orleans, the 1920s. Beneath the weight of prejudice and social barriers, young Alastair Hart—dreaming only of his restaurant—finds his path colliding with destiny. At Lillian’s lavish ball, his world intersects with Prince Lucian Morningstar of Maldonia, a royal searching for a bride of fortune. Then Rosie’s magic fractures the evening, transforming the prince into a serpent and a servant into his likeness, tangling the threads of two preordained lives into one knotted future.
