THE THRILLING TRUE STORY OF HOW ONE WOMAN MASTERMINDED SLAVE RESISTANCE to British rule in eighteenth-century Jamaica - part of the True Adventures series
1720. Blue Mountains, windward Jamaica. High above the army camps and plantations of the British Empire, a group of ex-slaves - called Maroons are building a new home for themselves.
When British soldiers enter the forests to hunt them down, one of the Maroons will lead the fight against them - Queen Nanny, a 'wise woman' with a reputation for ancient obeah magic, and a guerrilla fighter of genius. Under her generalship, her people will make a do-or-die defence of their freedom.
