Overview

Once a gifted young chef in New York, Miel Nerra built her life around beauty, order, and food-until the night she released the wild Bécasse and lost everything. Two decades later, now a food stylist in New York, Miel's quiet life unravels when her son, Chat, uncovers her past and is drawn into a dangerous culinary ritual back in France. Summoned by the ghost of Madame Bouquin and haunted by the missing tapestry known as Creation, Miel must return to the Auberge where it all began. There, amid the scent of Armagnac and apples, she confronts a web of secrets linking her family, the Secret Bécasse Society, and the Protectors of the Living-two factions divided by one sacred bird. As myth and memory blur, Miel learns that creation and destruction are threads of the same tapestry-and that love, once sacrificed, may yet be reborn. Rich with magical realism, sensual detail, and emotional depth, The Mistress of Apples and Bécasse continues The Elysian Legacy begun in Tales of the Mistress, weaving food, folklore, and feminine power into a story of inheritance, transformation, and the mysteries that feed the soul.
