Publisher's Synopsis
The Civil War and Reconstruction saga continues as Stelcie Dundee and Zethro discover a hidden message from Abdoulaye and then travel to Rodney, Mississippi. Egiap teams up in Marksville, Louisiana, with Lachney and Tee Thevenote to search for an Avoyelles Parish cemetery and then explore the site of Fort DeRussy. Sawyer Dundee continues to travel toward Natchez, and Solomon Witcher meets Xenophanes in New Orleans. Solomon revisits the establishment with the private poker game nightly and meets someone from his past that stokes his interest in lost Confederate gold. Xeno visits the tombs of his parents and that of a special someone from his past. Both men return to THE MUSTARD SEED shop independently of one another. Fate now draws several of the characters to Vicksburg to the challenge of helping Dodie confront a fetch, a supernatural entity of Irish folklore, she first saw at Bobb House. Sawyer in Natchez contemplates the possibility of finding lost Confederate gold to finance his future and befriends former slave John Roy Lynch, who has already begun his promising future.
