Jean-Baptiste Beauséjour hasn't written a word in years. Then one morning in Martinique, the road ahead of him simply vanishes - and he wakes to find himself hurled into 1844, onto an island bound by slavery, led by an old man who calls him nothing but witness.
That is where Michel Dantès's story begins. A young Frenchman with a worn copy of The Count of Monte Cristo he never lets out of his sight - and a name that is no accident - he lands in Saint-Pierre posing as a botanist. What no one at the Valreuil plantation is meant to learn: his real mission is to document, for the abolitionist cause, everything the official records refuse to say.
That is where Michel Dantès's story begins. A young Frenchman with a worn copy of The Count of Monte Cristo he never lets out of his sight - and a name that is no accident - he lands in Saint-Pierre posing as a botanist. What no one at the Valreuil plantation is meant to learn: his real mission is to document, for the abolitionist cause, everything the official records refuse to say.
But the house that takes him in keeps secrets of its own. Adèle de Valreuil watches him with a grace too deliberate to be mere courtesy. Her brother Albert senses a danger he can't yet name. And behind their aunt Germonde's silence, something old and merciless seems to be rising from the cane fields straight into the drawing room.
Between a love that has no right to exist and an island already simmering with revolt, Michel Dantès is about to learn that some truths, once woken, never go back to sleep. How long can a secret hold, on land where even the tears remember?
