“A perceptive and gripping tale of race and family.” — Kirkus Reviews
SYNOPSIS: I know what’s going to happen. It is 1859, and I should be celebrating my wedding, which is only hours away, a wedding meant to end a centuries-old conflict. But I am haunted by visions: I can see the slavers coming. I can see Van Owen on the deck of his ship. I can see him stealing my power. I can see the ravages of war and the decades of running and hiding as he hunts my family for generations — from the shores of West Africa to the plantations of North Carolina to the spires of 21st Century New York City. But I also see a Harlem family there — a 13 year-old boy who doesn’t know how to fight, his younger sister who refuses to speak, his older brother who thinks he can protect them — and Van Owen somehow there, too, somehow still alive and watching them all. What does he want, and how can I stop him if no one believes me?
