  Raised by her aunt and uncle after her parents' death, twenty-year-old Phoebe Dymond, a trained herbalist and midwife, boards the packet ship Providence bound for Jamaica and an arranged marriage. Incidents on board provoke clashes between Phoebe and the ship's surgeon, Jowan Crossley. But their professional antagonism turns to mutual respect and a deepening attraction. Following a skirmish with a French privateer, they eventually arrive in Kingston and find the town in the grip of a slave revolt. Terrifying events on the plantation of which she will be mistress force Phoebe to relinquish all hope of the happiness she had glimpsed. But fate has one more trick to play.
