"I advise discretion," he whispered in a hoarse voice, "this woman is now a danger to you."
Childhood friends, Marcella and Finley, grew up in a small village on the shore of British Columbia in the early 1890's. It was the middle of a midsummer night when Finley heard screaming from the homes closer to the shores. He and his brothers bolted to the shores to find robbers raiding the homes and setting them on fire, killing the people inside. Finley ran to Marcella's house to find her parents and little brother dead on the floor. The back window was open, and Marcella was nowhere to be seen. After saving his sister from the same men that kidnapped his best friend, Finley went on a frantic search to find Marcella and save her. However, when he found her, her mind is completely cracked; Marcella is not the girl he remembers.
This story is split into three chunks. Part one takes place after Finley buys Marcella from the slave trader, Part two tells the story of the girl Marcella once was, and Part three reveals what really happened to Marcella in the time she was in the hands of the slave traders. Were things really all that they seemed to be?
