Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction
In the heart of Jamaica's untamed Cockpit Country, where limestone cliffs whisper secrets and the wind carries ancestral echoes, a storm is brewing. "Esi: The Rebellion's First Flame" plunges into a world steeped in legend, where the legacy of the great Nanny, the one-woman storm who defied an empire, lives on in the spirit of a young Maroon warrior named Esi. For seventeen years, Esi has lived and breathed the wild symphony of Cockpit Country, but the familiar music of the wind is now laced with discord.
A chilling certainty settles in her bones as British soldiers encroach upon their sacred land, their scarlet coats flashing like arrogant insults against the landscape's muted shades.
