A West Indies cult has begun performing their rituals and rites on a high knoll just across the bayou from the plantation, and warnings are sent that La Maison des Chattes Bleues is on “spirit ground” and the aunts must leave. When the aunts refuse to leave, the cult’s priestess announces that she has put a curse on them and their property. Shortly afterward, some of the servants and sharecroppers begin to suffer from a mysterious illness, and the new indigo crop seems to fail. Cheney and Shiloh and the rest of the family and friends must find out why the cult is suddenly so interested in Les Chattes Bleues.

When Devlin Buchanan suddenly arrives and discovers Cheneys friend Victoria de Lancie is a houseguest at Les Chattes Bleues, unexpected complications begin. How does Victoria truly feel about the handsome young doctor? Is Devlin finally prepared to make his choice between her and Cheney?
