A young sculpture sets out on a journey of self-discovery and liberation in Cobra’s latest novel. Caught between his passion for art and the harsh reality of slavery, Frederick Freeman must conceal his true identity as an escaped slave. With every chisel strike, he risks being discovered by those who hunt him relentlessly: the anti-abolitionists, the ruthless bounty hunters, and his own father – the very man who claimed ownership over him. As he works tirelessly towards his dream, he grapples with the weight of his past and the fear of being dragged back into a life of bondage.
