Driven by ambition, hope, and greed, they came to a newborn territory on the Mississippi!
Dester Granville--tall, magnetic, aggressive--had a soaring dream: to create the richest plantation in Louisiana and found the proudest dynasty.

His adored young wife, Zelma, was a blue-eyed, auburn-haired Savannah beauty. Only unending love for her bold, handsome husband brought her - reluctantly - to the new frontier to face the bitter hatred of envious neighbors, the violence of secret lust, the cruel hurt of betrayal and death.

Parisian-born owner of a New Orleans brothel, Madame Celine developed a sheltering friendship with the naïve Zelma - and then shattered her innocence forever.

The beautiful, bronze-skinned mulatto slave Pierrot was Madame Celine's sensuous pet. He was a mute, but she knew enough endearing words for both of them.

Mathilda, a dark, sassy, passionate young slave, lusted helplessly for her white master - until one night when she went to him, naked, in the woods.
