On the surface, the wedding of Annie and John has brought serenity to Rose Hall. Underneath, everything is at full boil. In the mountains, the Maroons plan a second slave rebellion. Rupert Jonson plots to take control of Rose Hall. Annie becomes ever more involved in Vodou and Jamaican Obeah. When John dies, poisoned, the blame falls on Annie and she’s sentenced to hang as a murderer. Rupert strikes a bargain with her—that if she marries him he’ll pull strings to obtain her freedom. Facing death, she consents. One step after another brings Annie to the knowledge of who killed her husband. Now she’ll truly become a murderer, to avenge John and to save her own life. And to save Rose Hall.
