Her wild heart has lost the Gem of the Red Spirit. Unless she finds it, a voodoo curse will fall on 17th century Jamaica. Arose Du Mouchelle is the heiress to a sprawling sugar plantation. In her youth, an old Gypsy gave her a matriarchal heirloom ‘The Gem of the Red Spirit.’ She spends years in exile, learning its secrets. The most mysterious of which is the ability to enter the Astral Plane. There, she must act as a sentinel, forcing back the creatures there. An evil Priestess covets the Gem, taking hostage Arose’s family, and the people of a sleepy port town, as she attempts to force Arose into surrendering the powerful Spirit. While evading her henchmen Arose collides with Captain St. James, a notorious pirate who she already met in a vision. Leery of him, he gains her trust after aiding in her escape. But, realizes she has been duped when he disappears with the Gem. However, even if she recovers the Amulet she has a bigger decision to make — keep the Gem and doom those she loves or give it to the Priestess and let the world fall into a demonic wasteland.

Nights Arose Andrea Roche 9781625264886 Books Reviews
Night Arose is an interesting foray into the world of 17th century mysticism. The tale takes place in Jamaica on a sugar plantation in Montego Bay owned by the DuMouchelle family. Nessarose is the daughter of the plantation owner and shortly after discovering a magical inheritance finds herself in a battle for life and love. The story follows her (and her alter ego Evan) as she discovers her powers and rediscovers her childhood crush Blaze- a ship's hand, but sadly well beneath her station. Talismans, witches and voodoo priestesses abound and propel the story with new and more deadly dilemmas for our heroine. I enjoyed this story. It is refreshing to read of strong female characters who can still maintain their vulnerability and become fully rounded characters. A good read that I recommend for all lovers of fantasy.

March 1, 1681. The old gypsy woman, Miss Bess, gives ten years old Arose Du Mouchelle the Gem of the Red Spirit, which came from Astrallea. The spirit of the stone will protect her always. Arose possesses the gift of the Knowing, visions of the future, the capacity to send her spirit into the astral plane.
Gem of the Red Spirit is wanted by Mary Murphy, turned from Reverend’s wife to Morel the Voodoo priestess. Who will be the next vessel of the Gem of the Red Spirit?
Andrea Roche skillfully weaves a story with Arose’s father, her stepmother Lady Katherine, her sister Anne, her sister Fiona, her friends Josiah, Simon, and Leon, her father’s brother Uncle Edmund Du Mouchelle and his steward Blaze, George the first mate, Arose’s other persona Evan, Arose’s governess Charlotte Von Strad, a handmaid who doubled as a cook, Arose’s eccentric Aunt Josephine and her husband Uncle Louis, Morel the voodoo priestess, Harold, Ambrielle the Voodoo priestess’s henchman-brother, her three Hellraisers-Shaw, Faolan, and Liam, Sheriff Jahn Richardson, and Captain St. James the pirate captain.
Why is Bess reborn a blue fire dragon named Bessonth? Will Arose find her soul mate? Who is the mysterious Captain St. James? Who will save the world?
In this story set in Jamaica, Andrea Roche sure knows how to crank up the suspense for a clock-ticking surprise ending.
What a wonderful read. The book is fast moving and full of details that allows you to relate to the characters and their situations. I found myself on the edge of my seat as I realized the importance of the Red Spirit of the opalescent gem as Arose DuMouchelle, at first just a child goes through so many adventures to keep the gem out of the hands of Ambrielle, her sister’s husband and mainly Morel, the voodoo witch who wants to do evil with the stone, once she has it in her possession. My heart melts when finally Arose has an ally to help her protect the stone and find happiness in life. One of the most outstanding characters, yes, character, is Old Bess whose full name is Bessoth. There are the brothers Shaw and Liam who are the sons of Morel and have powers that are surprising and there is Blaze who first befriends the young Arose, who at their meeting is in disguise. The book is set in Jamaica and the Marmara Sea which I had to look up and found that it is in Turkey.
Nights Arose is a good vs. evil story centered in 17th century Jamaica, but spreading out as far as the Sea of Marmara in Turkey. The novel is filled with magic on both sides power to transform people into animals, power to witness events in the past, power to make oneself invisible, power to create great storms, and many others. These powers go head to head like opposing armies on a battlefield, increasing in page-turning intensity as the book moves on.
The “good” is represented by Nessarose (Arose) Du Mouchelle, a young woman blessed with exceptional talents - enhanced by the magic of a gem stone given to her by Bess, a gypsy woman. “De spirit of de stone will protec' you always.” The “evil” is represented by Morel, a Voodoo priestess, whose power seems to grow with each paragraph. Her goal is to steal the powerful gem and use it for her own purposes.
What I enjoyed the most about this novel is that it is not only a fantasy about a war between good and evil, but also Arose's coming of age story. This young woman is able to send her spirit into the astral plane, and, from there, witness events she has already lived. We get to see her youth, as she competes with her friends and first meets her Uncle's valet, who will turn out to be important to her. We also get to see her awakening sexuality, which happens in a beautifully written vision
Her center started to ache. She thought of how liquid his movements were. How each movement, once begun, tumbled imperceptibly to the next, cascading as water would over rocks in a stream...She wanted him; she wanted his strong arms around her.
I recommend this novel for fans of well written fantasy.
