Native New Yorkers Nick and Moselle Damaskós are relocating to coastal Georgia after winning an online auction for a beautifully restored antebellum mansion. Unbeknownst to them, the estate is tied to Moselle’s lineage—it was once the plantation where her ancestors were enslaved.
Soon after, Moselle and her young daughter are haunted by vivid nightmares involving water—visions linked to the 1864 Massacre at Ebenezer Creek. According to legend, Moselle’s great-great-grandfather, Ezekiel, witnessed the atrocity as a child. His mother and sister were among the casualties. Now, his memories live on in Moselle.
Nick learns about Ezekiel’s legacy while traveling south to close on the house. Behind the estate lies a mysterious pond, believed to be inhabited by local water spirits known as basimbi. As Moselle arrives with the children, the mystery of Old Meyer Pond begins to unravel. They have been summoned—called home by the spirits.
While fulfilling their creative ambitions, the family falls under the rapture of their ancient aquatic landlords. What follows is a tale of retribution, delivered in a most unexpected way.

Book 3 of Old Meyer Pond Series
Orodena is a long-forgotten warrior king from the ancient Oyo Empire. His spirit is brought to Yuchine County to protect the land and its people, enshrined deep in the forest near Old Meyer Pond. Divine, his eccentric custodian, summons him to produce a child—one who will carry on her legacy. Orodena possesses her nephew and fulfills the oracle’s boon, but trouble brews when the entity refuses to leave.
Travis begins to change, his shifting personality drawing him into serious legal trouble. Meanwhile, Veronica is expecting. Neither she nor Travis can recall what actually happened between them. Shocked to learn Divine had sedated her before conception, Veronica—uncertain of what the future holds—returns to her native St. Croix to reconnect with her estranged family.
Has Divine overstepped her bounds as an elder in the Coddle Brook community? She now struggles to mend her relationship with Veronica while seeking a way to end Travis’s ordeal.
