DuPassé has something of a reputation, as does its owner. Lucien is mysterious, distant, and quietly feared. Some say people disappear after working at his antique shop. Others say worse.
One day, Gabriel walks through his door. Golden-haired, pure-hearted, and disarmingly sincere, Gabriel is everything Lucien is not. When Lucien offers him a job, it isn’t out of need, but a flicker of something he long thought dead.
Gabriel accepts. And in the shadows of DuPassé, among relics of the past, he soon begins to wonder if there is some truth to the rumours. In 1920s Paris, where the line between the living and the damned grows thin, Gabriel must choose: flee while he still can, or stay and face whatever lurks behind Lucien’s carefully guarded silence.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
