Dominion tells the story of the Merian family, Jasper Merian, newly freed from bondage in Virginia at the close of the seventeenth century, leaves for the uncharted free territory of the west, where he aims to carve out a utopia in the wilderness of the Carolinas. While grappling with the legacy he has left behind, Jasper must build a home for himself to pass down to his two sons - one enslaved, the other free. Despite the hardships of frontier life and the malignant local spirit Ould Lowe, Jasper and his wife manage to build the thriving estate, Stonehouses. The farm passes through three generations, ministered in turn by Jasper's son and grandson. Their lives bring them up against the natural (and occasionally supernatural) world, colonial politics, the injustices of slavery, the Revolutionary War, and questions of fidelity and the heart. When Jasper's grandson, Caleum, is discharged from the colonial army, he lingers in New Amsterdam with another woman instead of returning to his family, and the threads binding Stonehouses together begin to unravel. Ould Lowe, long restrained, again haunts the land, and, like his grandfather, Caleum must ultimately face the demon.
