The story takes place mostly in colonial America (Chesapeake area) during the late 1600s. It's historical fiction, romance, and "dark" mystery all rolled into one. It follows two sisters, devoted but very different. The elder travels to primitive Maryland first for the arranged marriage to "unseen, unknown" cousin. Her younger sister follows after their physician father dies, learns on arrival of the untimely death of said sister, falls in love with the young widower and then the story jumps from present to past and back again. The author changes voice and time with each chapter flawlessly. I found it well written, well researched historically, and a real page turner.
