Covenant Bound D R McCandless

Those who ignore history . . . .

100,000 disappearances in the US every year, and almost 2,000 cases of human trafficking investigated annually by the FBI. This problem of tragic proportion grows along with the financial rewards.

Alex Atherton's ancestors, The Scottish Covenanters, became one of the first European groups to ban slavery, and they brought their principles with them to the Americas. Opposed and persecuted by those who believed in The Divine Right of Kings, the countries and governments who rejected the inalienable rights of the common man, those who traffic in human beings went to war to maintain their source of income.

Framed for murder, Alex has become a pawn in a violent game run by people who keep the horrific legacy of slavery alive, and profitable. His education in history hadn't prepared him for a life on the run, but his knowledge of American and European entanglements dating to the first colonists might help him piece this mystery together, and live long enough to clear his name.
