Synopsis

Elegant as well as beautiful, Vadra Duquesne lives on the family estate, River Styx, away from the glitz and glamour of the city with a black, backwater swamp flanking her backyard, home to a myriad of creatures. But none more dangerous than one man.

Navarre Beauvrie, a mysterious loner, finds himself drawn to Vadra Duquesne like no other, causing him to wonder if the magic with Vadra is real or if there are forces of the underworld involved, mainly his grandmother who openly practices witchcraft, obsessed with protecting Vadra from the dark underbelly of evil. Vadra is thrust into a world of passion where desire rules her body and love rules her heart. Now, as the night stakes its claim, she becomes its next victim, kidnapped from her home into the black, backwater swamp and thrust into a dark and dangerous world of gun-running and conspiracy from which there is no escape.

An ultimatum is issued with Vadra as the pawn—an exchange. Vadra for her brother, a cop whose interference has cost the gun-runner millions of dollars in profits. When Navarre Beauvrie finds the woman he loves is held at the mercy of a man called Fast Eddie, he launches a rescue to find her. Will he be able to save the woman he loves as the deadline approaches or will the swamp claim her for its own?
