1829. Sainte-Suzanne, Bourbon Island. A Black orphan, a slave of only seven weeks, is placed - as if by fate - into the arms of a botanist with a passion for orchids. At the age of twelve the illiterate prodigy unlocks the secret to hand-pollinating the vanilla orchid. While his discovery brings prosperity to many, a bitter future awaits Edmond.
