Synopsis
The small kingdom of Komenda has ventured into the slave trade. The king looks to his most trusted advisor, Chimezie, to manage the rival tribesmen captured from the local countryside. As an entrepreneurial man the king sees the wealth of his European contacts and realizes the potential of the trade. He seeks to increase his wealth and expand his kingdom. Charging Chimezie with a mission, he dutifully follows the slave trade to the New World. What he finds makes him doubt his mission. The deeper he goes, the clearer the picture becomes. Cloaked in secrets, the reality of slavery is a legacy of violence, terror and families torn apart. Can Chimezie resist the lure of money and power to stand up for the people? Can he convince others to give up the trade? What would you risk to be on the right side of history?

About the Author
In elementary school he was described as a daydreamer. His love of history led him to earn a degree in it at Brigham Young University, which has fertilized his dreams with tales, daring conflict, love, plunder and sacrifice. Having served in the military for twenty years has further fed his imagination as he visited many places in the United States and the world. With his first book he has researched some of the intricacies of one of the most oppressive institutions in history, slavery. Contemplating it in his mind he has woven a fanciful legend of the slave trade to create a compelling story. Jeffrey (Jeff) Rains grew up in the Orlando area. He waited until middle age to complete his first novel so he could focus on his children. He enjoys working out, playing sports, especially basketball and also studies martial arts holding a black belt in traditional Japanese Ju-jitsu.
