“As for amateur detective Lucie, she meets Viva and
begins to realize that both Viva and her client, Leni,
are after the same jewel. Her brother reluctantly reveals
their true natures: Viva is the daughter of the Sun, and
Leni the daughter of the Moon. They can stay on Earth
for only 40 days between the last full moon of winter
and the first full moon of spring. The magic jewel can
allow them to stay.”

The title is that of a book of poems by James Merrill
that includes “The Emerald.”

“As above, so below.” —  The Emerald Tablet

“The Emerald Tablet … is a compact and cryptic piece of
the Hermetica   reputed to contain the secret of the prima materia
and its transmutation. It was highly regarded by European alchemists
as the foundation of their art and its Hermetic tradition.” — Wikipedia
