London, mid-1700s. Orphaned and scraping by on the unforgiving streets, Charles and Abby Burton are suddenly swept into a world they never imagined—servants in the grand estate of Sir Malcolm Hurley. But comfort is fleeting. Beneath the polished halls and warm meals, danger stirs. When Charles is sent to a neighboring estate, a single decision ignites a chain of events that shatter their fragile peace. Secrets are uncovered. Loyalties tested. And with no choice but to flee, Charles and Abby—alongside the rough-edged stable master Rufus and the enigmatic Sir Malcolm—set sail for the British Colonies in a desperate bid for freedom. Social lines blur as the Atlantic roars around them, and survival demands courage. What awaits them in the New World is uncertain, but one thing is clear: there’s no turning back.
