In the shadowy alleys of 1770 London, destiny is a thief in the night...

Orphaned and thrust into the darkest corners of the city, Thomas Everhart's life takes a dramatic turn when he's torn from his homeland and shipped across the Atlantic to a Virginia tobacco plantation. Bound by chains but driven by an unyielding spirit, Thomas becomes the spark of rebellion among the oppressed.

With freedom in sight, Thomas and his comrades embark on a daring escape, pursued by relentless bounty hunters determined to crush their dreams. But in the heart of colonial America, where revolution brews, an unexpected refuge appears—gentle Quakers who offer them shelter in a land ready to tear itself apart.

Now, faced with a harrowing choice, Thomas must decide: join the Continental Army and shatter the bonds of slavery, or remain hidden in the shadows as war consumes the land. The path to freedom is paved with sacrifice, and the cost is steep.

Chains of Fate by Melissa Cole is a gripping tale of resilience, courage, and the relentless pursuit of liberty. As the flames of war engulf a nation, will Thomas Everhart rise as a hero, or will he fall to the unforgiving edge of history?
