For readers of Sara Donati and Diana Gabaldon, this epic
historical romance tells of fateful love between an
indentured Scotsman and a daughter of the 18th century
colonial south. When captured rebel Scotsman Alex
MacKinnon is granted the king's mercy—exile to the Colony
of North Carolina—he's indentured to Englishman Edmund
Carey as a blacksmith. Against his will Alex is drawn into
the struggles of Carey's slaves—and those of his
stepdaughter, Joanna Carey. A mistress with a servant's
heart, Joanna is expected to wed her father's overseer,
Phineas Reeves, but finds herself drawn instead to the new
blacksmith. As their unlikely relationship deepens,
successive tragedies strike the Careys. When blame falls
unfairly upon Alex he flees to the distant mountains where
he encounters Reverend Pauling, itinerate preacher and
friend of the Careys, now a prisoner of the Cherokees. Haunted by his abandoning of Joanna, Alex tries to settle
into life with the Cherokees, until circumstances thwart yet
another attempt to forge his freedom and he's faced with
the choice that's long hounded him: continue down his
rebellious path or embrace the faith of a man like Pauling,
whose freedom in Christ no man can steal. But the price of
such mercy is total surrender, and perhaps Alex's very life.
