Having spent a year at his vast New Orleans mansion, Ruby Landry still rejoices in the love of the father she had never known. But Ruby has made some dangerous enemies: her stepmother, Daphne, who sneers at her backwater upbringing, and her twin sister, Gisselle, full of bitterness and backstabbing.
The exclusive girls' boarding school her father has chosen for her seems to offer a fresh start. But Ruby has reckoned without the legendarily strict headmistress, Mrs Ironwood, who plots with her stepmother to make her life a misery. Still Ruby doesn't lose hope - until a terrible tragedy means she must summon every last ounce of her Cajun strength to reclaim her home, her future and the happiness she once knew.
The best-selling Landry family saga has held millions of readers captivated with its compelling tales of dark passions and shocking secrets.
