Final Order Cutoff for The Quarter Queen (novel)

About this event

In 1843 New Orleans, the reigning Voodoo queen is Marie Laveau, feared by her enemies & follow-ers alike. Her daughter, Marie "Ree" Laveau, the second, is everything her cutthroat & principled mother is not—spoiled & entitled, with a wicked-ly rebellious streak—and defies her mother at ev-ery turn. But Ree’s world is turned upside down when she finds Marie comatose in the bayou, cursed by exiled Voodoo king John the Conjurer—Marie’s former teacher, lover & greatest enemy. As Marie hovers on the brink of death, Ree races to uncover the secrets of her mother’s life in search of a cure & gradually uncovers a web of alliances, dangers & deception. What’s worse, Hen-ryk Broussard, Ree’s long-missing childhood best friend, returns with a witch hunter of the Church, tasked with investigating her. With so many enemies circling, including a puritanical-minded Brotherhood of alchemists & the slave-holding mayor of the ci-ty, Ree must confront the past & face her mother’s demons that have now become her own—or die trying. An intimate yet epic portrait of a mother & daughter who have struggled all their liv-es to understand one another, and a captivating exploration of racism, family, and womanhood.
