NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Scotland, 1766. Sentenced to a life of misery in the brutal coal mines, twenty-one-year-old Mack McAsh hungers for escape. His only ally: the beautiful, highborn Lizzie Hallim, who is trapped in her own kind of hell. Though separated by politics and position, these two restless young people are bound by their passionate search for a place called freedom.
From the teeming streets of London to the infernal hold of a slave ship to a sprawling Virginia plantation, Ken Follett’s turbulent, unforgettable novel of liberty and revolution brings together a vivid cast of heroes and villains, lovers and rebels, hypocrites and hell-raisers—all propelled by destiny toward an epic struggle that will change their lives forever.

5By Mike Walnut CreekI enjoyed it from beginning to end. The characters that you like only suffer mildly compared to some other Follet novels. Once you start reading it’s tough to put down.So So
3By Katie46Not enough depth of character. Parts were interesting…. But overall no real surprises…pretty obvious where it was headed and how it would end.Loved it but it needs a sequel
4By vvcsjenCouldn't put it down but it ended abruptly. Needs a sequel. Or two. This story should be continued.Classic Ken Follet expertly taking you back in time

5By NoBrainerToMeFollett is a brilliant story teller and this was especially enjoyable with the historical fiction angle about indentured slavery of Scottish people.
