Rreth këtij libri elektronik
‘Readers are in for a true treat … Dazzling’ PATERSON JOSEPH
‘This powerful story is steeped in truth and resonates with humanity. It’s a gritty thriller and a whirlwind adventure, but most of all it’s a tale of love and hope. A beautiful, original and heart-stopping read’ JANICE HALLETT
Some things are earned. Some things are worth fighting for…
It’s 1782, Daniel and his sister Pearl arrive in London with the world at their feet and their future assured. Having escaped a Jamaican sugar plantation, Daniel fought for the British in the American War of Independence and was rewarded with freedom and an inheritance.
But the city is not a place for men like Daniel and he is callously tricked and finds himself, along with his sister Pearl, in the rookeries of St Giles – a warren of dark and menacing alleyways, filled with violence and poverty.
The underworld labyrinth is run by Elias, a man whose cruelty knows no bounds. But under his dangerous rule is a brotherhood of Black men, the Blackbirds of St Giles, whose intention is to set their people free.
Can Daniel use his strength, wit and the fellowship of the other Blackbirds to overthrow Elias and truly find the freedom he fought for…?
‘The novel Dickens didn’t write, but should have done. Simply magnificent’ SEAN LUSK
‘Equally thrilling and informative, a journey you won’t forget!’ AJ WEST
‘Full of twists and turns, peopled with characters to care about and shining a light on a little-known area of history’ FRANCES QUINN
‘Brava! A charismatic cast. A plot to stir your heart’ ESSIE FOX
‘Bringing Black Georgian London to life, this is a dark and wonderful tale of a brother and sister finding their feet in an unfriendly city’ LOUISE HARE
