Description

Native New Yorkers Nick and Moselle Damaskós are moving to coastal Georgia. They've just won a bid on a beautifully restored antebellum mansion featured in an online auction. Little do they know there's family connection. The couple has unwittingly purchased the very plantation where Moselle's ancestors were enslaved. Moselle and her young daughter are plagued by nightmares involving a strange body of water. Their dreams are connected to the 1884 Massacre at Ebenezer Creek. Legend holds that Moselle's great-great grandfather witnessed the event as a seven-year-old child. His mother and baby sister were among the casualties. Joshua's memories are now Moselle's. Nick uncovers the full story when he travels south to close the deal on the house. A mysterious pond behind the estate he has purchased is said to be the dwelling place of spirits. The water entities are known locally as basimbi. They are feared by all. The mystery of Old Meyer Pond begins to unravel when Moselle arrives in town with the children. They have been summoned home by the spirits. The family fulfills their creative ambitions while under the rapture of their ancient aquatic landlords. Theirs is a story of retribution in a most unprecedented way.
