Abandoned for decades, it still casts its spell down the generations - a place of dreams, magic and madness. Worlds away, ten-year-old Madeleine's untroubled Scottish childhood is cut short after a fateful encounter with the handsome but hostile Cameron Lawe. Left alone to raise her newborn sister Sophie, growing up an outcast in Victorian London, she seizes her chance to escape and returns to the decaying Jamaican plantation where she was conceived. There she finds a people haunted by a savage legacy and a family torn apart by obsession and betrayal. But there, too, she finds Eden where she must finally confront the shadows of her past.
