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 LeGrandās 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? Paulās 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 brothersā merciless taunts and humiliating pranksāand 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 fatherās wrath. Her treacherous journey will test both her knowledge of the swamp and her courage. Can she find Paul before itās too late?
