Suzonne of Twin Flames Introduction: A Hint of the Story to Come Suzonne was born in 1784 on the French island of Martinique. The land is a lover of the wind where the air has the scent of sugar and vanilla. Suzonne and her older brother Raphael inherit the family sugar plantation; Twin Flames. When a hurricane assaults the island in 1799 Raphael's young son, Charles, is gravely injured. There is no way to summon help. Suzonne must call upon the healing skills she learned from many hours in the slave quarter, a place her parents forbid her to go when they were alive. She worked alongside her wise slave Rutah stitching together bleeding slaves, healing snake bites, and acting as a midwife. Earlier Rutah has a vision which predicted a great evil coming to Martinique. Suzonne believed the hurricane to be that evil until shocking events soon proved otherwise. Suzonne is coming of age. Beautiful, spirited and courageous; she must fight her way through a terrorizing path of evil voodoo and a family history she knows nothing about. When her brother turns to alcohol, Suzonne turns even more to Rutah and giant Tumba, the slaves she has known all her life. The townspeople gossip about her but she does not care. Suzonne is pursued by a French Marquis and a wealthy English aristocrat. Both are dangerous. Can either of them gain her trust? Though most of her contemporaries are betrothed or married, she has not made that a priority until now. While Suzonne never believed she would see a real pirate in her lifetime, she will see many and violently encounter one in particular. She does not consider herself capable of taking a human life but she will commit murder without hesitation. Suzonne of Twin Flames is a tropical saga of historical fiction laced with adventure and the supernatural of voodoo. It is rich with vivid scenes and captivating characters interacting in a memorizing story that has a way of staying with you.
