Opis

Book 5 in the: Legends of the Swamps: series. Handed over to neighbors during the American Civil War for safekeeping, Lizzie finds herself in a worse situation than she could have imagined or feared. She makes her way farther south, to New Orleans, Louisiana, where she becomes the owner of the most successful nighttime establishment, La Trouvialle. By day she is mother to her younger sister, but by night she is the owner and operator of La Trouvialle. The separation of her two lives is beginning to take its toll on her spirit, mind and body. The war between the states took her whole family, save she and her sister, and this life is stealing her soul; she knows she does not want it forever. Especially not for her sister. She must find a way to leave it. Again, the Alligator King makes his presence known, but Uncle Frank gives no clue as to the identity of the curious phenomenon. Still he weaves in and out of the lives of their family, intertwining the present and the past as he does so. Springing from this ancestry is a breed of people called Louisianians - those who chose to mix themselves in a blend of souls who loved the landscape, the hardships and the wonder that became Louisiana. And the Alligator King is an integral part of their story - they just don't know how... yet.
