Description

(Book 3 of Old Meyer Pond)

Orodena is a long-forgotten warrior king from the ancient Oyo Empire. His spirit is brought to Yuchine County to protect the land and its people, enshrined deep in the forest near Old Meyer Pond. Divine, his eccentric custodian, summons him to produce a child—one who will carry on her legacy. Orodena possesses her nephew and fulfills the oracle's boon, but trouble brews when the entity refuses to leave.

Travis begins to change, his shifting personality drawing him into serious legal trouble. Meanwhile, Veronica is expecting. Neither she nor Travis can recall what actually happened between them. Shocked to learn Divine had sedated her before conception, Veronica—uncertain of what the future holds—returns to her native St. Croix to reconnect with her estranged family.

Has Divine overstepped her bounds as an elder in the Coddle Brook community? She now struggles to mend her relationship with Veronica while seeking a way to end Travis's ordeal.
