1770. Delphine lives in the shadows of London: a secret, vibrant world of smugglers, courtesans and small rebellions. Four years ago, she escaped enslavement at great personal cost. Now, she must help her brother Vincent do the same.
While Britains highest court fails to administer justice for Vincent, little rebellions are no longer enough. Whats needed is a big, explosive plot one that will strike at the heart of the transatlantic slave trade. But can one woman, one fuse and one match bring down an Empire
An incendiary alternative history, Remember, Remember is a gripping story of conscience, conspiracy, queer identity and courage in the face of injustice.
