God has a purpose for seventeen-year-old Jessica but it will take a swamp, immortal Cherokee Indians, and a trip to Hell for her to find it.

Jessica's sole purpose in life was to keep her father alive in the hope he would wake up from a coma and save her.  For eleven years, her mother pulls no punches in threatening to cut off his lifeline at any little sign of independence from her.  The biggest demand comes six months before her eighteenth birthday—to accept her mother’s choice for marriage or her father would die.        

Hours after agreeing to the arrangement, Jessica finds her father dead.  She’s devastated by the loss, but at least he was free from her mother’s cruelty.  Now, it is up to her to save herself.

That night a windstorm wakes her and draws her to the window.  An odd light illuminates the beach below in the moonless night.  Could it be the ghost of her father?  Maybe, but she is not sure she believes in all that spiritual nonsense, or does she?  Regardless, she follows the light that guides her to a world of the ageless and to the sacred territory of the Cherokee, deep in the Okefenokee Swamp. 

Three young men set their eyes on Jessica. 

One boy will steal her heart, one will try, and one will try to kill her.
