Off the coast of Charleston, New Island was home to many things- among them stories of resilience and rebirth. New had been home to Warwick Noble before the depraved events of a long ago night removed him from his home and the girl he loved.
Sixteen years later, Warwick runs the family business with his cousins and accepts that a life with Seela Desmond is forever lost to him. There is much to keep him occupied. The events on a neighboring island have unveiled atrocities no one could have foreseen. Leading the dark business are Warwick's own brothers. Though he's not alone in the fight, War makes it his mission to bring them down. He has accepted a life without Seela, but a victory of such magnitude could change things...
Seela makes it clear that War has nothing to prove. Too long, have past regrets kept them apart. Seela wants War. She wants to experience all there is. She wants everything, except to confess her own dark truth. A truth, that could mean losing her freedom as well as the man she loves.
