But the journey isn't easy-the terrain is rough, the bandits are brutal, and every interaction carries a heavy undercurrent of danger.And then there's the stranger they encounter and befriend: a mysterious soldier named Caesar, whose Union emblem brings more attention-and more trouble-than any of them need.All three are propelled by the promise of something long denied to them: freedom, land ownership, and a place to call home-but is a strong will enough to get them there?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jewell Parker Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53058536079678,"sku":"9780316299435","price":204.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780316299435.jpg?v=1772200834","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780316299435","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
