"Cheney has received a disturbing letter from her great aunts, and when she and Shiloh arrive on the elderly ladies' indigo plantation outside New Orleans, they find themselves in a much more dangerous situation than they had imagined. A cult is performing rituals just across the bayou from the plantation, sending threatening messages to the aunts trying to force them to leave. When they refuse, the cult's priestess pronounces a curse on them. A mysterious illness attacks the local sharecroppers, straining Cheney's medical knowledge and skills. With the indigo crop also failing, it seems the curse is doing its worst. Can Cheney and Shiloh uncover the reasons for the cult's interest in the property and protect the elderly aunts?"--P.
