In the 1890’s Morlanna Miller is a woman in a man’s world of reporting and investigating stories for the newspaper. It is an age of mystics and seances in San Francisco. She has discovered a legend in the swamps of Louisiana that will interest those readers.

There is a treasure that calls to men, young and old, which is guarded by a corrupted holy man. Morlanna doesn’t believe in such whimsical tales…until she is imprisoned by the bishop.

Is it possible for Morlanna to use her wit and charm to escape? Or will it take a bold plan from a handsome stranger, a voodoo priestess, and a boarding house proprietress to save her?
