Two friends struggle to survive the treacherous journey across the
snake- and alligator-infested Louisiana bayou in the seventh book in the
Survivors series.
Bayou Teche, 1851.
No one in Lily LeGrand's Cajun community is willing to help search for
Paul Courville, who is missing in the bayou along with his mean-spirited
older brothers, William and Mark. Why should they? Paul's wealthy
plantation-owner father has made no secret of his disdain for Cajuns.
But Paul has always been kind to Lily, defending her against his
brothers' merciless taunts and humiliating pranks--and Lily refuses to
turn her back on him when his life is in danger.
On her own in the maze of the dangerous bayou, Lily knows she has more
to fear than her father's wrath. Her treacherous journey will test both
her knowledge of the swamp and her courage. Can she find Paul before
it's too late?
