Description
In 1800 Virginia, Gabriel Prosser—enslaved and driven by grief and rage—finds a way to turn private suffering into collective resistance. When violence strikes close to home, he becomes the catalyst for a planned uprising that draws enslaved people from Richmond and beyond into a dangerous struggle against their masters. Blending historical events with imaginative storytelling, this novel illuminates the courage, fear, and determination that shaped the fight for freedom in the face of brutal oppression. Through its focus on leadership, community, and the moral urgency of revolt, the book offers a powerful exploration of resistance and the human cost of slavery.
