Back cover says "IN a rodle of shadows an dperils, she will taste the forbidden...and find redemption. Woman, man, witch, communer with the dead, Herculine is bound for America in September 1826, leaving behind a strange and violent past in France and armed with the powerful knowledge gained from a quartet of remarkable mentors. In Virginia, fate will lead Herculine to the mysterious Mammy Venus--possessor of gifts at once wondrolus and terrifying--to a haunted young poet named Edgar Poe...and to Celia, a beautiful, damaged salve, who stirs her would-be savior/lover's passions and ignites her dark, otherworldly powers. So begins an odyssey of self-discovery and erotic obsession that will carry Herculine from the coastal wilds of Florida to the chaotic streets of New York--to be liberated by carnality and forever changed in the aftermath of bloody rebellion."
