The Flood

The mysterious saga of the Caskey family begins in Blackwater I: The Flood, as a devastating flood brings a strange and beautiful visitor to the small, sleepy lumber town of Perdido, Alabama. <br /><br />Elinor Dammert's arrival will forever change the town and the wealthy and powerful Caskey family. <br /><br />James, who dotes on Elinor like a second daughter... <br /><br />Sister, who pines for Elinor’s strength and independence... <br /><br />Oscar, who loves Elinor and determines to build a life with her... <br /><br />And matriarch Mary-Love, perhaps the only person in Perdido with an inkling of Elinor’s true power and purpose. <br /><br />For Elinor is more than she appears, and she brings to Perdido—and to the Caskeys—a deadly, inexplicable otherness from which no one can ever be safe.
