About this title

Synopsis

A gripping historical tale told in verse, this book follows a Creole enslaved in the South as he and his beloved face violence, loss, and the dream of freedom.

Rich in imagery and emotion, it invites readers to witness a man’s journey toward dignity under oppression.

Set against a backdrop of plantation life and the brutal slave trade, the verses blend personal longing with social critique. The narrative moves from the beauty of the land to the stark horrors of bondage, keeping the human stakes front and center.
What you’ll experience

• Lyrical storytelling that frames a slave’s courage, hope, and ultimate sacrifice
• A vivid portrayal of plantation society, escape attempts, and bonds of loyalty
• Thematic threads on freedom, love, and the cost of resistance
• A historical perspective presented through classic verse and dramatic scenes

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical verse, moral drama, and stories of perseverance under oppression.
