New Orleans, 1917. The district is dying, and Odette knows how to disappear.Once the favorite at Mahogany Hall, she slips into the city's underbelly-chasing silence, smoke, and whatever comes next. What she finds is a mansion behind a garden wall, full of strangers who don't age, don't sleep, and never ask what she's running from.They welcome her like they've been waiting.The longer she stays, the more the house reshapes itself around her. The mirrors distort. The music seduces. And something in her-something carnal-starts to wake up.Odette is a southern gothic tale about beauty, control, and the slow transformation of a woman who realizes she's never truly been powerless.
