About The Book
It’s Mardi Gras in 1920s New Orleans, and Tiana, a young African American woman, is running out of time. She is in possession of an amulet that Facilier, the Shadow Man, got one of his minions inside Prince Naveen’s inner circle to steal; it allows its wearer to impersonate the prince. He was trying to use it to gain access to the fortune of Eli LaBouff, the richest man in New Orleans, by wooing LaBouff’s daughter, Charlotte, who dreams of marrying into royalty. Facilier uses a conjuring trick to force Tiana to make a deal that will help her protect the people she loves. Her end of the bargain is to put a concoction made by the Shadow Man into the gumbo served at her restaurant, a deal that surely cannot end well: Even though Tiana seems to have everything she wants, evil forces are clearly at play. The setting is richly steeped in the history and culture of New Orleans. Chapters alternate between the third-person perspectives of Tiana, Naveen, and Facilier, with each having a distinct voice. This appealing twist on the classic fairy tale “The Frog Prince” creates space for examining different aspects of Voodou and compelling social justice issues that still affect people today.
