Jassy is the tale of a remarkable woman born from a unique lineage, the daughter of a preacher and a gypsy.

She emerges as a strange and elusive child with powers of prophecy, maturing into a woman even more enigmatic. Those around her are drawn into a web of love and admiration or furious hatred; there is no middle ground.

Jassy has the uncanny ability to transform even those who cherish her into adversaries. Barney Hatton, the dispossessed heir of Mortiboys, finds himself in love with her but not sufficiently. Lindy, the servant girl, loves her excessively, while Elizabeth Twysdale, Jassy's teacher, grows to despise her more each day.

The lives of these individuals, intertwined with Jassy's own, are destined for passion and anguish, a journey of intense emotions that only Jassy could navigate.
