Jamaica, 1743. The First Maroon War has ended with a bitter, uneasy peace. The British Crown claims the island is tamed, but in the impenetrable shadows of the Blue Mountains, the fires of defiance still burn.
Willow, daughter of the legendary warrior-queen Nanny, knows the cost of freedom. Her people are bound by a treaty that forbids them from aiding runaways-a pact that keeps the peace but stains their honor. When Willow discovers Silas, a dying man hunted by a sadistic overseer and a pack of bloodthirsty hounds, she must choose: obey the laws of her elders or follow the spirit of her ancestors.
Joined by Kai, a young Maroon hunter caught between duty and desire, and Aiyanna, a descendant of a Taino Priestess and guardian of her people's ancient secrets, Willow embarks on a perilous journey into the heart of the island. Their only guide is a fragmented, centuries-old map-a relic of Sacred Places that no Maroon or Briton has ever dared to tread.
But as the British militia closes in and a vengeful soldier from the past hunts them down, Willow realizes that the greatest threat may not be the guns of the Redcoats, but the betrayal lurking within her own camp.Also in
