Haunted by Angels: Bloodlines

The sea breeze carried the scent of sugar cane across Mirabel's island home. Haiti, 1835, over three decades since independence and finally emerging from France's shadow. Blood from her ancestors, Great Grandfather Toussaint and the whispered legend of Great Grandmother Simone, ran in her veins. They called Simone "Mama Simmy," a Mambo whose powerful curses had helped drive colonists from their shores. Now, after decades of struggle, prosperity beckoned. Mirabel's father and Pepe negotiated with former privateers to establish trade routes to America. But their meeting ended in violence. A French Admiral burst in, his eyes gleaming with something inhuman. He sought not profit but destruction, to sever the Guardian Angel's connection to Mirabel's bloodline. Her Great Grandmother's dying breath passing the Lwa in desperation came too soon, overwhelming her spirit. Her last memory... a Privateer and his First Mate dragging her into a tunnel. She awakened to rhythmic rocking as waves slapped against wooden planks. Above deck, she found Captain Roger in his flamboyant coat directing his crew, First Mate Alawi and four muscular sailors, as they navigated through mounting swells toward an approaching storm. Behind them loomed the warship Suffren, Admiral Proteli'e's demon-possessed soul in pursuit of sixteen-year-old Mirabel Du Paradis and her inherited Guardian Angel. Her destiny had found her, whether she was ready or not.
