Working as a nurse on the sixth voyage of the Titanic's sister ship, the Britannic, newly refitted as a hospital ship, she happens across an unconscious Mark, now a soldier fighting in World War I. Years later, Annie, having survived that fateful night, has attempted to put her life back together. But before they can locate the source of the danger, as the world knows, disaster strikes. Several of them, including maid Annie Hebley, guest Mark Fletcher, and millionaires Madeleine Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim, are convinced there's something sinister-almost otherwordly-afoot. Between mysterious disappearances and sudden deaths, the guests of the Titanic have found themselves suspended in an eerie, unsettling twilight zone from the moment they set sail. Someone, or something, is haunting the ship.

Cassie falls out with a rude young girl in a neighbouring white family, and is forced to apologise for standing up to the girl’s superior behaviour. But as they are the only black family with land they cannot muster enough support. This is a time of lynchings, burnings and violent racism.Ĭassie’s family try to operate a boycott of the plantation shop, to use economic pressure to stop the exploitation of black families. They succeed in breaking the school bus axle, and are not caught, although at about the same time there is trouble for some black families. The boys in her family plot to teach the bus driver a lesson. What’s more, for sport, the bus driver frequently runs them off the road into the muddy ditches. Cassie has three brothers, her grandmother and her mother who together make up her loving family.Ĭassie first notices racial segregation when she and her brothers have to walk through the mud to their school, while the white school children have a bus and go to their own school. Her father works away, as does her uncle, because the income from the cotton crop does not make enough to sustain the family. It is unusual for such a family to own land, even a small parcel of land, because they are black. Cassie lives with her family on a small piece of land in Mississippi in the Great Depression. Even worse, it will force them into alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust. Their journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts.
