It's 1872 and Celine has come from Paris to New Orleans where she is living with nuns. In exchange for work, they may help her find a husband. It is not clear what Celine is running from, but she is definitely running. She befriended other young women on the voyage to New Orleans. There is something alluring, intriguing, and perhaps a bit unnerving in the atmosphere of New Orleans. Celine is watchful, paying attention to her environment. She is also a bit bored and eagerly takes advantage of an opportunity that takes her out into the city after sunset.

This promises to be an atmospheric story with a strong sense of time and place and otherworldliness. We are just starting to meet the characters, so it's unclear how those relationships will continue to form and impact the story.
