By M.T. Anderson
Octavian lives a privileged life. He is always dressed in the latest high end fashions, he never goes hungry, he has the best tutors and he lives a life of leisure. But he also has dark skin and lives in Boston during the 1780s. So, how is it that he lives his life, while others with his complexion toil away as slaves? The truth is almost as cruel as that missed life of indentured labor. And to top it off, Revolution is around the corner. Should Octavian join with the British who promise to free all slaves in the American Colonies, or side with the Rebels, the only family he’s ever known? This first of a two book series delves deep into the culture and philosophy of Pre-Revolutionary America and calls into question the true meaning of freedom.
