Summary "In the early 1900s, the Virgin Islands are transferred from Danish to American rule and an important ship sinks in the Caribbean Sea. Orphaned by the shipwreck and the death of its doomed Captain Bradshaw are two sisters, Eona and baby Anette, as well as the half brother they don't yet know exists. Each of them is unusually beautiful, and each is in possession of a particular magic that will either destroy them or become their salvation"--Dust jacket.
