"Since the financial Armageddon, it’s been guns, gold and slaves. And secrets—lots of dirty secrets.
Donald Aldingford lives inside the walled city of London where he survives as a barrister. He does not possess an estate with thousands of slaves. This means he’s not ‘decent’; he’s a commoner. What’s more, he’s a commoner who knows the secrets of powerful people. That makes him a disposable commoner.
On a flight to see a client, he gets shot down and jailed for violating private airspace. This captivity opens his eyes to what happens on private estates. It’s quite a shock to see how ‘decent’ people treat their slaves. He’s outraged to learn his own brother Lawrence has been condemned to eight years of slave labour for crimes he did not commit. Now Donald has a social conscience! After his release, he starts to share this social conscience with an attractive young woman from outside the city walls. She’s a leading revolutionary.
Powerful eyes are watching Donald. They’re going to make him an offer he can’t refuse."
