Blood of Belvidere: A Grenada Novel

Grenada is a marriage between stunning Caribbean beauty and historical conflict. Blood of Belvidere takes readers on an unforgettable journey deep into the tropical mystique that attracted international intrigue to her shores for hundreds of years. As a young boy growing up in Grenada, Scott McDonaldâ€™s growing pain becomes intertwined with the legacy behind the strange disappearance of a slave-rebellion leader two-hundred years earlier. Secrets and treachery inflict havoc down eight generations of McDonalds, believed to be descendants of the rebelâ€™s archenemy. In Scottâ€™s search for the truth, he is recruited into an antigovernment movement plotting to overthrow an iron-fisted dictator. When the dictator crushes the movement, Scott flees the island and leaves his entire world behind including the girl he loves, and who is now presumed killed by secret police. He migrates to the United States and enlists in the U.S. Marines to forget his past. But fate intervenes. The U.S. invades the island to topple a brutal Marxist government and to rescue American students from the turmoil. Scott is among the invaders. He seeks retribution for his grief, but echoes of his family past remind him of a more sacred mission. He must uncover why a mysterious event in the Belvidere Mountains two-hundred years ago could still fan the fires of dictatorship, revolution, and invasion. But will he be prepared when he comes face-to-face with the truth? Blood of Belvidere is a story about human struggle in the darkness of oppression, the bitter taste of betrayal, the sustenance of love, and the healing power of reconciliation. This is a story of hope.
