Description:

Rowan Maynor is a swamp rat, the illegitimate daughter of a whore. Raised in Louisiana’s bayou, she dreams of escaping her birthright, but her mother crushes that fantasy by selling Rowan to the highest bidder: Lucien Dumas, the most powerful man in New Orleans, and rumored to be Rowan’s father.

Lucien imprisons Rowan in a brothel, where his hatred of her mother turns into a twisted obsession.

When an unlikely savior appears, Rowan flees into the deadly swamps of her childhood. Scarred by her imprisonment, with a loose grip on sanity, Rowan realizes she has two options. She could seek revenge or leave Louisiana and forget about Lucien.

But like father, like daughter…

Rowan promises to make Lucien pay for his sins, even if it kills her.
