Love. Betrayal. Revenge. Destiny. On one Caribbean island, the past never dies.
On the lush, breathtaking island of St. Lucia, beauty and tragedy exist side by side.
In Death by Fire, award-winning author Dr. Anderson Reynolds weaves an unforgettable family saga in which love, betrayal, colonial history, natural disasters, and ancient spiritual forces intertwine to shape the lives of two families across generations.
Yet fate binds them together. Against all odds, Robert and Trevor become inseparable friends, discovering that parental hatred and parental neglect can leave equally devastating scars. As the young men struggle to escape the burdens of their inheritance, they find themselves caught in forces far greater than themselves-forces rooted in history, family, nature, and the mysterious spiritual traditions of the Caribbean. Epic in scope and deeply human in its insight, Death by Fire explores the enduring questions that shape every life: Can we escape the mistakes of our parents? How much of our destiny is inherited? Can love overcome generations of pain? Is fate written-or can it be changed? Rich with the landscapes, folklore, and history of Saint Lucia, Death by Fire is a sweeping work of Caribbean literary fiction that blends psychological drama, historical realism, and touches of the supernatural into a powerful story of resilience, identity, and redemption. An award-winning Caribbean novel that introduced one of Saint Lucia's leading literary voices.
Perfect for readers who enjoy the richly layered fiction of Toni Morrison, Jamaica Kincaid, Isabel Allende, and William Faulkner. this remarkable debut announces a distinctive Caribbean literary voice. Praise for Death by Fire
