In 1830 slavery was on track for emancipation. The island of Bermuda was slow to give in to the orders coming from England. Even enslaved people on the mainland of North
America were given the opportunity for a new life as free men and women.
Saidah and Luca forged a friendship and had one thing in common: they were shifters. On land and in the sea, they warred against the inhumanity the sugar cane enslavers
still dished out.
Forced from the plantation fields to the sugar mill, Saidah worked under the worst conditions and still managed to keep her head high. She labored over the cooking of molasses for the island's primary rum distillery. When one of her roommates was gifted a copy of a book about the abolition of slavery written by a formerly enslaved person, things got 'real' fast. Saidah and Luca found themselves thrust into the movement to free Bermuda's enslaved people.
As resentment toward the Free Peoples of Color ran rampant, and violence flamed in the face of Bermuda's slave traditions, Saidah held to her promise-protect the weak and save her people.
This book is a historical paranormal work of fiction.
