In this novel, told through three converging perspectives, New Orleans in the spring of 1976 smells like mildew, sin, and sea spray.

A relentless rainy season has filled the city with bad omens, but Keningale Perks ignores them all. All he wants is a chance to prove himself as an antiques appraiser.

Meek, ambitious, and hopelessly underestimated, Keningale's life changes the moment he lays eyes on the Sphur Murti, an artifact so elusive that most experts believe it exists only in legend. According to legend, the idol grants immortality to whoever possesses it.

The legend is true.

It just leaves out the horror.

The idol creates blood-feeding immortals with fiery eyes and living shadows at their heels.

When Keningale refuses to feed, starvation drives his shadow to the surface. As it begins to take control, Keningale undergoes a horrific transformation that threatens his humanity and the very awareness that makes him who he is.
