About this audiobook
In the glittering world of antebellum New Orleans, beauty could open doors—but bloodlines could destroy lives. Born into the mysterious and misunderstood society of the gens de couleur libres, Odette Trudeau lives between two worlds: neither enslaved nor fully free, desired by powerful men yet denied the dignity of true equality. Raised within the elegant walls of Château Vidal among Louisiana’s free people of color, Odette is groomed for a future as a wealthy white man’s placée—a carefully arranged mistress hidden behind the lace curtains of Creole society.
