Oriane’s current existence as one of the ‘undead’ has forced her to discover ways to reinvent herself. Love, acceptance, and happiness have eluded her. She receives an opportunity to travel to the New World, marry, and hopefully live a satisfying life, void of accusations and loneliness. Her awaiting husband is more monster than she. He orders her to live for a period with an Indian tribe. After a series of catastrophic events, it is Yaholo, a man of the tribe who accepts her and perceives her as exceptional, not an abomination. But she is married. And her husband returns for her. As she struggles with her growing feelings for Yaholo and the abuse from her husband, relationships between the French and the Indians are deteriorating. Preparations for war are underway. But sometimes life presents one with challenges appearing insurmountable, yet it serves as a true testament to one’s true character and perseverance. An honest heart and true conviction can be rewarded. Even when all else seems lost, dreams can come true.
