Built from the ashes of a plantation that enslaved the St. Bernard women's ancestors, Morne Marie has come to shelter a lineage that is bonded by much more than blood. One woman in each generation of St. Bernards is responsible for the passage of the city's souls into the afterlife. When her mother dies, Yejide is unprepared to fulfill her destiny. Darwin has always abided by the religious commandment not to interact with death. Yejide and Darwin will meet inside the gates of Fidelis, Port Angeles' largest and oldest cemetery, where the dead lie uneasy in their graves and a reckoning with fate beckons them both.
