In 1813, deep in the Okafinoi swamp, a hidden settlement of formerly enslaved people faced a professional slave-catching patrol. They had no walls, no guns that could match the hunters. But they had Sabadu.

When she escaped, she turned that knowledge into a deadly defense system. When bounty hunters arrived, they brought her husband Obasi back in chains, forcing him to lead them to the settlement. What they didn't know was that Obasi was leading them directly into the trap his wife had already built.
