The Silver Witch — Sue Rich

An enthralling tale of 1820s Florida weaves a spell from a long-past but still potent love, deep in the steamy mystery of the exotic Everglades...

It's a place where flowers stretch toward the sun, and moss hangs from branches in gray-green splendor. In this land of beauty -- and long-buried secrets -- a presence lingers, wafting through the trees and verdant rivers of grass. The magic beckons Ashlee Walker and Connor Westfield from the north, each searching for a cure to ease the curse of malaria.

But this rake and this spirited young lady are only grudgingly teamed in the mission -- until their efforts are sabotaged, and they are forever united by dreams filled with menacing and eerily familiar visions. As their own love grows ever stronger, Ashlee is drawn into the unearthly history of the swamp that surrounds them, which harbors the tale of a bewitching wraith with hair of silver.

For Ashlee has chosen to decipher the century-old legend of the Silver Witch ... to right a passionate wrong that demands retribution ... and discover a love so rich that it transcends time.
