The War: Wartime in Perdido jolted the sleepy little Alabama town as new people entered the community. Outsiders would invade the comfort of the wealthy Caskeys and take their daughters. This, though, was part of the master plan of Elinor Caskey, who would see the family flourish amidst the destruction and death she administered in a fashion more awesome than the war itself.
The Fortune: Already the most powerful family in Perdido, the Caskeys will soon experience success beyond their wildest imaginings. But prosperity comes with a price, and in the end even the Caskeys must pay. One woman will risk everything to rid herself of the dreams she once begged for … Another will make herself brutal in business and even more unyielding with the family that loves her ... And a third will finally confront her mysterious and terrible otherness as she faces marriage and motherhood and the relentless pleading call of the dark river …
Rain: Time heals old wounds and dissipates old illusions as a new generation of Caskeys ascends to power. But even unimaginable wealth can’t protect the Caskey family from the sins of its past or the judgment that is soon coming due. An unexpected union brings joy and tragedy in equal measure … Secrets long forgotten bubble to the surface of the dark river, and scrabble at the door of an abandoned room … And a tragic encounter in the swamp conjures a storm the likes of which Perdido hasn’t seen since the great flood of 1919 …
