      NORTH CAROLINA 1882 Motionless on the quay, Kathleen could not take her eyes off her meager luggage swaying at the end of a hoist. That old trunk suspended above the water suddenly seemed to perfectly symbolize the uncertainty of her fate. Two days earlier, she did not even know who Captain Rogan Rawson was, and now this enigmatic man with a disquieting charm had become her husband and was taking her aboard his ship to an unknown land, to that barren and desolate island of Hatteras. Certainly, it was not a real marriage, just a rather peculiar arrangement. In exchange for a roof over her head, Kathleen would care for her husband's elderly mother, Harrieta, who, it was said, was not entirely in her right mind. As for Captain Rawson, she would not see him often—busy as he was traversing the Atlantic—and in any case, he would only be her husband in name. Yet, a dull anxiety gripped her. What would she find on this wild island? And if this marriage of pure form was merely a trap, who would care to come to the aid of an eighteen-year-old orphan with no ties or fortune?
