A successful career woman, at a juncture in her life, has finally attained the beautiful lifestyle, the security, all she had ever dreamt of during her trauma laden upbringing-only to realize she may have lost the only thing of worth. Fear, drama, trust, grief-and eventually, understanding and redemption dominate this novel-like memoir.
Passion. Horror. Betrayal. From the national bestselling author of the Lily Wong thriller series comes a stunningly original (F. Paul Wilson) dark journey into Brazilian mysticism about a desperate mother who rises from the slums to embrace Quimbanda magic amid her quest for the ultimate revenge. Across forty years, three continents, and a past incident in 1560 France, Serafina Olegario tests the boundaries of love, power, and corruption as she fights to escape her life of poverty and abuse. Serafina's quest begins in Brazil when she's possessed by the warrior goddess Yansa, who emboldens her to fight yet threatens to consume her spirit. Fueled by power and enticed by Exu, an immortal trickster and intermediary to the gods, Serafina turns to the seductive magic of Quimbanda. It's dangerous to dance in the fire. But when you come from nothing, you have nothing to lose.
