The French Caribbean in 1790- Just Before the Slave Revolution

Irish street fighter Patrick Allen is days away from the biggest fight of his career, when the Draft Riots ignite dangerous racial conflicts around the city and deadly acts of violence by Irish gangs.  Never one to take sides outside the ring, he steers clear of the angry mobs.  So when he stumbles on a lynching in progress, who can expect him to do anything more than look away?

Patrick is guided by his Aunt Grace who has been with him in each of his lives.  The stakes are high---this is his last chance.  Success moves both of them forward.  There is no going back.
