Summary:
"Fearing a death sentence,
Octavian
and his tutor, Dr. Trefusis, escape through rising tides and pouring rain to find shelter in British-occupied Boston. Sundered from all he knows — the College of Lucidity, the rebel cause —
Octavian
hopes to find safe harbor. Instead, he is soon to learn of Lord Dunmore''s proclamation offering freedom to slaves who join the counterrevolutionary forces. In Volume II of his unparalleled masterwork, M. T. Anderson recounts
Octavian
's experiences as the Revolutionary War explodes around him, thrusting him into intense battles and tantalizing him with elusive visions of liberty." --From the publisher.
