When her six-year-old-daughter Valda strikes up a conversation with the lawman, the smile on the shape-shifter's face melts her heart. Widowed, Mystery is on her way to the plantation that is home to her siblings. Once there, a jealous woman's vengeance, an ancient evil's return and another man's carnal desire will fling Mystery, Glyn and Valda into a maelstrom of pure evil that will nearly destroy the Reaper.
