Serenity Futior And Her Sons - 'The Serpent In The Garden'

Serenity Futior is one of those character many readers are starting to relate to on a very deep level. Though she does not have much of a storyline in 'The River' - Blood&Water', what is presented for readers is breathtakingly tragic,yet uplifting. This beings said, Serenity is evil. Her sons, each more handsome than the other, they are even more malicious.

In the book, I share Serenity's back story; how she came to be, how darkness overtook her life. Being the offspring between a young  slave child and a cruel pedophile, Serenity was raised to be strong and powerful, even while working in the fields with her young mother.
Eventually Serenity was accepted into the main plantation house, probably as a playmate for one of the slave master's children. This is when the young girl was introduced wealth and comfort; bought fine dresses, taught to read and write, excelling in latin and math.  But even as her life changed, Serenity never forgot the cruelty she endured in the fields working alongside her mother, Ms. Edmonds.

In the story I explain how even as a young age, Serenity starts to plan her mother's revenge against the plantation owner's family. This is a part of The River that is steeped in intrigue. This is not a large part of the storyline, but it represents the cruelty of slavery and how such darkness still effected lives in the 1920's Deep South.

Because I did not want this particular storyline to get 'flat', I surrounded  this particular antagonist with other characters that are just as evil as she is. I think the reader can understand Serenity's need for revenge, her desire to lash out, but I wanted to present a new aspect of the storyline. People that are evil just to be evil.
Serenity's boys are offspring from a marriage of pure greed, she even sent one of the boys to Paris with his father, killing the man while in Europe. In this aspect of the storyline the reader gets to know each young man; how he views the world, his mother, even their past crimes and or sins.

Serenity is very interesting character. I plan on utilizing her in a few more books.
