Publisher's Synopsis
Hidden in the shadows of a Scottish river bank in the winter of 1767, a young woman watches a figure emerging from the icy water. Lizzie Hallim has never seen been so close to a man before, but her excitement is tinged with fear, for the man is a slave, and she is helping him to escape. From that moment on, in the Old World and the New, their destinies will become irrevocably entwined.
