In a hostile land, a young woman stands against enslavers and learns—survival isnt freedom.

Secrets about her ancestry lead Twilight Adams to a plantation, where captivity lies in wait. Children held in bondage there have secrets, too. In stealthy resistance, these quiet fighters defy their enslavers, whom they call the destroyers.

As Twilight challenges slavery and the cruel injustice of plantation life, the destroyers close in. Trapped, she discovers what the children know:

There are only two ways out—escape or death.

Spanning three years, 1858 to 1861, Wild Conviction is a socially conscious, richly historical, epic adventure—sprinkled with magical realism, laced with southern gothic, and steeped in the heated tensions of antebellum America.

For this novel, the author created a scenario within a historical setting in which the terms Rich-tone and Pale are used for skin tone—and without historical and contemporary derogatory terms.

Fans of the haunting beauty and complex humanity found in stories by authors such as Matt Haig, Octavia Butler, and Jan-Philipp Sendker will enjoy Wild Conviction, a cross-genre adventure where integrity, courage, and wonder illuminate even the darkest times. Mary Dezember writes for those who believe life holds magic and that every story can be a journey of the soul.
