That same year, Cecelia, a young slave in Virginia, runs away for the first time. Soon infamous for her escape attempts, Cecelia drifts through the reality of slavery until she encounters frontiersman Sam Fisk, who rescues her from a slave auction in New Orleans. In spite of her mistrust, Cecelia senses an opportunity for freedom, and travels with Sam to his homestead in Texas. In this new territory, where the law is an instrument for the cruel and wealthy, they begin an unlikely life together, unaware that their fates are intertwined with those of Sam's former army mates - some of whom harbor dangerous dreams of their own."--Front cover flap. | |
