A leader of the Jamaican Maroons crosses paths with an enigmatic sorceress in this spine-tingling tale of ancient enemies, based on real Jamaican history and legend
Deep in the heart of Jamaica, the stories of insatiable bloodthirsty creatures and dark rituals brought over from the old country have been the stuff of legends for centuries. Queen Nanny, the leader of a community of Maroons, is well versed in military leadership and spiritual wisdom. But how do you beat an enemy that possesses the power over life and death?
One such figure is the enigmatic White Witch, shrouded in mystery and superstition—some say she was once a wealthy woman who murdered her husbands while others believe she was a powerful sorceress who used dark magic. As the White Witch threatens the safety of Queen Nanny’s home, she must use every weapon at her disposal to protect her people.
With action and mystery that brings to life a legendary urban myth, this thrilling novel provides a fresh perspective on Jamaica's rich cultural history and is a must-read for horror and thriller enthusiasts.
