Damiana, once a sweet young girl, is now well on her way to being a powerful voodoo master as a student under the most respected and feared voodoo priest in the West Indies, the Bocor. Her need to understand and perfect her craft is fueled by the desire to cast revenge on her enemy El Jefe who, on her voyage, made her suffer in an unspeakable manner at his hands. At the plantation, she feels more at ease with the slaves and is quickly welcomed into their lives. Her friendship with a young slave girl, Marie intensifies. All is going well, the gods welcome her as easily as they welcome the slave people that worship them, granting her powers in the process. But as always with power comes fear. Moreover, it's the fear of her new power that sets into motion a betrayal that will forever mark her life.
