Elodie Whitlock comes to New Orleans by train. She is penniless, yet led by vindication. Once the ward of a devastating socialite, the answers of this world do not come easy. They are stuck to crime syndicates, radio stations, and cryptic warehouses-and she must expose them if she ever wishes to save her father from his fate. When she gets a job at WCRL Station, it seems things are finally looking up. But as her path is tangled with that of Alastor Hartfelt's, a budding radio announcer, she quickly learns that New Orleans isn't the only thing with a dangerous underside.
Alastor Hartfelt is concerned with maintaining his idyllic life. Once alienated for his race, society now fell to his feet-a testament to his great influence in the Golden Age of Radio. He has power unforeseen. Secrets best left unsaid. And as far as he is concerned, the world is his to have. So when Elodie threatens disruption to his carefully curated world, he is naturally in opposition.
In a broken world such as this, the only true law was to mind yourself-and neither seemed too keen on that regard.
