Saint Domingue (present-day Haiti), 1792. In the wake of the largest slave rebellion the world has ever seen – one thousand plantations burned on the Northern plains – the young widow Rose Fongravier struggles to manage her crumbling coffee plantation. Early one morning she discovers a body at the bottom of her garden: An accident, a personal vendetta, or – God forbid – the start of another slave revolt?
