Description: In 1793, as revolutionaries in the West Indies take up arms James Hemings has little interest in joining the fight for liberte - talented and favoored he is careful to protect his relative comforts as Thomas Jefferson's enslaved chef. But when he meets Denmark Vesey James is immediately smitten. The formidable first mate persuades James to board his ship on its way to the revolt in Saint - Domingue. There and on the mainland they join forces with a diverse cast of characters including a gender nonconforming prophetess a formerly enslaved jockey and a Muskogee horse trader. The resulting adventure masterfully mixes real historical figures and events with a riotous retelling of a possible history in which James must decide whether to return to his constrained but composed former life or join the coalition of Black revolutionaries and Muskogee resistance to fight the American slavers and settlers.
