博客來Set in 1933, New Orleans, Audine Collins finds herself cast out of her home after attempting to steal a fortune from her husband, Wayne Collins. Alone and desperate, she boards a train bound for Chicago, where she meets the alluring Pullman Porter, Walter Pickman. What begins as a seemingly generous act of kindness soon turns into exploitation, leaving Audine penniless and struggling to survive in the freezing streets of an unfamiliar city.
Her search for refuge leads her to the Bronzeville neighborhood, where she answers an ad and is taken in by the powerful Pastor Thomas ＂Bishop＂ Almonds and his enigmatic wife, Sathronia. But Audine’s presence sparks chaos: she exposes secrets, manipulates those around her, and seeks vengeance when her true motives are discovered.
Her quest for power and revenge drives her into Chicago’s underbelly, a world of flophouses, drunks, gamblers, and thieves. There, she continues sowing deception and cruelty - until she crosses paths with Lillian Moore, a formidable Hoo-doo practitioner who is determined to put an end to Audine’s reign of malice once and for all.
A gripping tale of deceit, revenge, and supernatural justice, Audine: A Malevolent, Cursed, and Sinful Woman explores the dark consequences of greed, manipulation, and unchecked ambition.
