It is 1925 and post war New York is a glamourous place. Gifted
young artist Delphine Duplessi, a favourite on the society party circuit is
known for her ‘shadow paintings’ portraits that lay bare the subject’s darkest
secrets. Delphine herself has a secret; her talent is enhanced by powers passed
down through the Duplessi line. When her ‘gift’ leads to tragic consequences,
Delphine, along with her twin brother and business manager Sebastian sail back
to France. Back home Delphine tries to heal, her mother, legendary witch La
Lune tries to help her, whilst Sebastian does his best to lure her back to
painting again.
Sebastian springs a commission on her, Emma Calve, former
opera singer and now owner of a Chateau that has links to alchemist Nicolas
Flamel, wants to hire Delphine to ‘shadow paint’ the building and reveal the
secrets that Flamel allegedly hid there in
the Library of Light and Shadow.
And Delphine is hiding something, someone else from her
family, her ex-lover Mathieu. The daughters of La Lune are cursed by love but
her love for this man may destroy them both.
