Two teenagers, one black and one white, met on a slave voyage and their lives changed forever. Madu, an African teenager, was captured by British slave trader John Hawkins. Tom Oakley was a young white sailor who oversaw the slaves. At first the two teenagers hated each other, but as the voyage unfolded, their roles reversed and they gradually became close friends. This change even they themselves could not believe. This book is adapted from real historical events and has a compact plot. It is the history of the slave trade that you cannot learn in school.

In 1685, King Charles II died without warning, and his younger brother James II succeeded to the throne. He was the first Catholic king of England since the time of Bloody Mary. Protestant England was threatened, and King Charles' illegitimate son, the handsome Duke of Monmouth, launched an armed rebellion in an attempt to overthrow his uncle's regime. This riot completely overturned the world of young Ann Carter. She was eighteen and engaged to Tom Goodchild, a Protestant shoemaker; but she was secretly in love with Robert Pole, an officer in King James' army who had promised to take her to London to be his mistress.
