Overview: Pirates, plantations, and plots in the 18th-century Caribbean . . .
Esther Peacock is frantic with worry. The man she loves, a secret abolitionist, has left South Carolina to help a slave escape to a colony of free blacks in Jamaica, a dangerous mission if ever there was one. But there’s more: Jesse is wanted for crimes he didn’t commit and there’s a price on his head.
So when his brother Rupert arrives carrying a time-limited pardon, Esther is confronted with a dilemma. With mere months to return to England to claim his freedom, Jesse could fail to meet the deadline and face execution. But assassins are stalking him in the New World too, and if he doesn’t get them called off, more slaves could die.
After weighing the options Esther decides she has no choice but to find Jesse and let him make the call. But the prospect of navigating a region simmering with pirates, privateers, and hostile Spaniards turns out to be less of a threat than the menace in her own home: Rupert has his own agenda, and it may just bring all of them to ruin.
