Five women bound themselves to Natchez. More than a century later, one family must face what they awakened.
When widowed Angelique Landry inherits an old Mississippi estate, she plans to begin again with her young daughter, Lila. But the Landry house is not empty, the dead have not forgotten, and four-year-old Lila can see what the living cannot.
Her arrival draws the attention of the Black Magnolia Society-five women whose desperate act during the Civil War left them immortal, imprisoned within Natchez, and bound to a secret that has waited generations to be uncovered.
As old loyalties fracture and a malevolent power reaches for Lila, Angelique must discover the truth about her husband's family before the past claims its youngest descendant.
