Dartrine Beaumont believes her mother's sudden death has left her alone in the world--until she learns of long-lost wealthy relatives living in Florida. Confused but delighted by the possibility of extended family, Dart travels to her grandmother's stately Gilded Age mansion on Amelia Island for answers, just in time to stake a claim on an unusual inheritance: an alligator farming empire.

Her arrival at Greer House isn't everything she hoped. Without warning, Dart finds herself in fierce competition with her grandmother's arrogant heir apparent, and tensions rise as threats escalate on one of the farms. More unsettling is her hostile grandmother's fanatical belief that the danger stems from a curse; according to legend, a larger-than-life alligator hunted down by a bloodthirsty ancestor haunts the family. Yet Dart can't deny that the farm's alligators hiss only at Greers, or that a shadowy figure creeps through the mansion's halls.

As Dart uncovers the truth about her violent birthright, she faces a terrible choice: accept her place in her family's grim legacy or forge a new path by slaying a different beast entirely.
