Fiction | Historical
It is the late summer of 1814, and Hannah Bonner and her
half brother Luke have spent more than a year searching the
islands of the Caribbean for Luke’s wife and the man who
abducted her. But Jennet’s rescue, so long in coming, is not
the resolution they’d hoped for. In the spring she had given
birth to Luke’s son, and in the summer Jennet had found
herself compelled to surrender the infant to a stranger in
the hope of keeping him safe.
To claim the child,
Hannah, Luke, and Jennet must journey first to Pensacola.
There they learn a great deal about the family that has the
baby. The Poiterins are a very rich, very powerful Creole
family, totally without scruple. The matriarch of the family
has left Pensacola for New Orleans and taken the child she
now claims as her great-grandson with her.
New
Orleans is a city on the brink of war, a city where
prejudice thrives and where Hannah, half Mohawk, must tread
softly. Careful plans are made as the Bonners set out to
find and reclaim young Nathaniel Bonner. Plans that go
terribly awry, isolating them from each other in a dangerous
city at the worst of times.
Sure that all is lost,
and sick unto death, Hannah finds herself in the care of a
family and a friend from her past, Dr. Paul de Guise Savard
dit Saint-d’Uzet. It is Dr. Savard and his wife who save
Hannah’s life, but Dr. Savard’s half brother who offers her
real hope. Jean-Benoit Savard, the great-grandson of French
settlers, slaves, and Choctaw and Seminole Indians, is the
one man who knows the city well enough to engineer the
miracle that will reunite the Bonners and send them home to
Lake in the Clouds. With Ben Savard’s guidance, allies are
drawn from every segment of New Orleans’s population and
from Andrew Jackson’s army, now pouring into the city in
preparation for what will be the last major battle of the
War of 1812.
