A cruel slave owner cursed-the slave that cursed him, sold. Will he ever return to a normal life?
Richard, a particularly punishing slave owner, sees black slaves as nothing more than property to do with as he pleases. After buying a few new slaves-including an incredibly beautiful young woman named Nini-his evil ways reach new heights.
In the heat of the moment, two of his other newfound purchases react to his treachery.
Thinking nothing of their actions, Richard continues about his life. But after a restless night, he wakes up to discover he's no longer a white plantation owner... but a mute black slave. Worse yet, the woman who cursed him has been sold. As his evils are revisited on him, Richard wonders if he'll ever return to his old life or if this new hell is permanent.
Debut author A'Dreana Anderson presents a haunting and poignant historical fantasy, offering a unique perspective on the atrocities inflicted on enslaved men, women, and children. Firsthand is a beautifully heartbreaking tale of injustice, guilt, forgiveness, and the unfolding of profound transformation.
