But Juliet's adventure turns into a nightmare when she realizes the full horror of the business her father is in - the slave trade. As she meets up with Dand, the Scottish crofter's son, abducted and sold; Gbodi, stolen from her African village; and Hassan, the son of a slave trader, Juliet knows that her greatest challenge is yet to come.
