In New Orleans, a new queen is crowned every thirty years… and her fate is sealed in blood.
Alexis Rochon believes she’s been chosen for something sacred: an elite krewe founded on sisterhood, beauty, and devotion.
But inside the House of Lazuliè, nothing is as it appears.
Rituals govern everything. The Madames rule unquestioned. And something unseen listens when the women pray.
As Mardi Gras approaches, the city begins to change. Strange offerings show up. Voices whisper. And Alexis starts to understand the truth: the House isn’t honoring her. It’s preparing her.
Now, on the night of Mardi Gras, Alexis must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to survive because in the House of Lazuliè, every crown comes with a price… and not everyone lives to wear it.
Enter the House. Join the Krewe. Pray you survive the crowning.
