Will Jessica persuade The Immortals that The Living Blood can be used for the greater good of mankind? Will David return and help her? And Khaldun and The Immortals oppose Jessica's meddling with immortality. Meanwhile, a black market arises in the famous blood drawn from children Jessica cured. But their new clinic also becomes swamped. Then the sisters try to hide out in Botswana. At the same time, Jessica and her physician sister Alexis have gone to South Africa to set up a clinic where a serum made from Jessica's blood cures terminal illnesses among many children. After drowning in a bathtub, she too rises from the dead, reborn as Fana at the behest of Khaldun, with whom she has a telepathic tie. David disappears, shot dead by the police, but then rises from the Miami morgue and goes his way, leaving Jessica, whom he's made immortal, and their three-year-old daughter Beatrice behind. Only David knows Khaldun's secret ritual, which must accompany such a transfusion to promote not just relief from all illnesses but immortality as well. David belongs to The Immortals, ruled by Khaldun, who since drinking the blood of Christ has gathered The Immortals about him by transfusing his blood into theirs. Miami reporter Jessica Jacobs, married to David Wolde for six years, doesn't know that he's actually over 500 years old, having fathered many families and watched them die. Due follows The Black Rose (2000), a novel written from Alex Haley's posthumous notes, with this sequel to her gripping My Soul to Keep (1997).
