She is heir to her father's wine fortune, amassed over a generation of labor in the vineyards of Champagne, France. But while the vast holdings of the family estate belong to Sylvie de Courcey, her future does not. Her betrothal to the handsome Count Rene de Boyce has been planned from childhood -- an arrangement Sylvie knows nothing of . . . until her heart has been given to another man. Even as Sylvie struggles with a wrenching choice between love and loyalty, a deeper secret tightens its invisible tendrils in a stranglehold on both families. Rooted in French underworld, its fruit quickly ripens into murder, extortion, and betrayal. One person stands between Sylvie and the evil that closes in on every side: the man Sylvie loves most, and cannot afford to love at all. Set in France, England, and Scotland in the mid-1800's, Indigo Waters weaves romance, suspense, unforgettable characters, and surprising twists in a novel of unquenchable faith. Indigo waters is the first book in the Shades of Eternity series by Lisa Samson. Filled with the splendor and romance of historical Europe, these well-crafted novels trace one family's journey of faith in the lives and loves of its members in the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Look for the upcoming book two, Fields of Gold, at your favorite Christian retailer.… (more)

This was a story that took me a little while to get into, but the more I read, the more I liked and by the end of the story I had a hard time putting it down until I finished. There were twists and turns to this book, and it kept me guessing at times, about what would happen next. And I like surprises in a story, but there was one in this one that I was totally not expecting. You will journey from France to England and then to Scotland in the mid 1800;s and will experience adventure, suspense, romance and an enduring faith in the Lord in some of the characters. Love and loyalty, murder and betrayal; this story has it all.

Sylvie is a 19 year old lady growing up in France and laboring in her father's vineyards. There is no love there between her father and herself and her mother relies on her a little two much. But she has her brother, who she adores, even though they have been apart for some time. Sylvie will soon find herself betrothed to one young man, wanted by another and admired greatly by still another. All 3 will have a huge impact in her life as she struggles to hold on when her life seems to be crashing down all around her. I closed the pages of this book, looking forward to reading the next book in this series, "Fields of God". (
