A forged note. A poisoned cup. A legal system inventing America's future racial strife.

Njila Mwana a Hosi has survived slavery and won his freedom; he's acquired land and built a home with the woman he loves - Beth, his English wife.

Then Beth is poisoned.

A forged note points toward Njila. To clear his name, he faces colonial justice rendered by the Governor and English planters. In a colony turning racial differences into law, Njila discovers that innocence may not be sufficient.

Among the tobacco fields and towering pines of the Virginia Colony, Birdsong's Law brings the African American experience and the lives of Native Americans into a compelling historical mystery. This emotional, thought-provoking work combines the intimacy of literary fiction with the urgency of a man's fight to keep his freedom.

For readers of historical fiction and Southern literature, it offers a powerful encounter with Black history, Southern history, and the beginnings of race in America.

Njila's story is fictional.
