Launch Party for The Path
What is freedom worth, if it cannot be shared? Yves de Bourganes only wanted to make some money to send to his mother, and perhaps have a taste of adventure, but he never expected to become enmeshed in a war between Great Britain and her restive colonies, far from the shores of his birth. When he encounters Amalie, a slave with a difficult past, though, his world is truly turned upside down, and he learns that some paths lead to unexpected destinations.
