About this item
by Bercy (Author)
In 1865, deep in the bayous of Grand Chenier, Louisiana, over two hundred captured souls are left to die on a forgotten strip of land now known as Negro Island. Only one survives, Binuwe, a Mami Wata, a powerful water deity cloaked in human form. From the horror of that massacre, she rises, her sorrow twisted into an unrelenting thirst for vengeance.
What follows is a brutal, supernatural reckoning as she hunts down those who betrayed and destroyed her people. But vengeance grows complicated when Binuwe falls for the wife of one of the men she's marked for death. As her love deepens, so does the question that haunts her: Who are the true monsters? The mythical creature bent on vengeance, or the men whose cruelty gave birth to her rage.
