description: A spellbinding novel about families, secrets and dreams, the first in a trilogy about the Daughters of Eden. In the depths of the lush Jamaican forest stands a ruined house of haunting beauty, the last remains of a great estate founded on slavery. Abandoned for decades, it still casts its spell down the generations. A place of dreams, magic and madness. Worlds away, ten-year-old Madeleine's untroubled Scottish childhood is cut short after a fateful encounter with the handsome but hostile Cameron Lawe. Left alone to raise her new-born sister, Sophie, she seizes her chance to escape and returns to the decaying Jamaican plantation where she was conceived. There she finds a people haunted by a savage legacy and a family torn apart by obsession and betrayal. But there, too, she finds Eden, where she must finally confront the shadows of her own past.
