What
would you do if you suddenly found yourself mistress of an
18th-century plantation?
Esther
Rubens is looking forward to getting to know her new community in
South Carolina and repairing her troubled marriage. But as soon as
she arrives in Charleston her life begins to diverge from the idyllic
picture in her mind. Her physicist husband, Melvin, is arrested for
driving while black, she inherits a strange English property from a
cousin she didn't know existed, and she learns that her
great-grandmother Sophie, a brilliant scientist kidnapped by the
Nazis, discovered the secret of time travel of all things.
Intrigued
by Sophie's cryptic journal Melvin begins to experiment with time
travel, but his anger at the police makes him careless. The process
backfires, killing him and throwing Esther back to 1750. Attacked by
an unknown assailant the moment she arrives, she seeks protection at
an indigo plantation belonging to a dashing planter with a dangerous
secret, negotiating a deal that guarantees her safety. But she soon
realizes she's made a terrible mistake. What she discovers on the
plantation is far more horrific than anything she could have
imagined.
Overwhelmed,
she attempts to flee just as the planter's mysterious, handsome
brother arrives from England seeking refuge-and offering an
opportunity that's too compelling to turn down. But can he be
trusted? And are the two of them strong enough to vanquish the evil
that's pervading the lowlands? Only time will tell.
The
first title in the Indigo series.
