Description
In 1658, a young woman's life is forever changed when she is branded a runaway and thief, sentenced to a lifetime of slavery.
Her punishment is severe-her ear is cut off, marking her as a convict slave, and she is banished to a remote Dutch settlement at the Cape of Good Hope, a brutal and isolated outpost filled with men hungry for control.
As a woman in this unforgiving environment, she faces a world of local inhabitants, ruthless officials, soldiers, and sailors. The constant threat of exploitation and violence looms over her. Will she surrender to the harsh Dutch practices of sexual exploitation, or will she resist, fighting to maintain her dignity and autonomy?
In a place where power is everything, she must make life-altering choices. Will she navigate the treacherous politics of the settlement and ingratiate herself with those in power, or will she rebel against her fate?
This gripping historical novel explores the resilience of the human spirit in the face of cruelty, oppression, and impossible odds. Will she survive this harsh world, or will it break her? Discover her destiny in this powerful story of strength, survival, and defiance.
