Based on a remarkable and little-known true story, Martinique, 1765, and brothers Emile and Lucien are charged by their French master with a mission. They must return to Grenada, the island they once called home, and smuggle back forty-two slaves claimed by English invaders. While Lucien, barely in his teens, sees the trip as a great adventure, the older and worldlier Emile has no illusions of the true dangers they will face.
As they set sail, the brothers encounter a series of challenges and obstacles, including storms, pirate attacks, and the treacherous waters of the Caribbean. Despite these dangers, they persevere, driven by their sense of duty and their love for their homeland.
Upon their arrival in Grenada, the brothers face a new set of challenges. They must navigate the complex social and political landscape, as well as the suspicions and hostility of the local community. They must also contend with the English invaders, who are determined to reclaim their slaves at all costs.
Through their courage, determination, and ingenuity, Emile and Lucien manage to smuggle back the forty-two slaves and return them to their homeland. Their bravery and selflessness inspire the people of Grenada, and they become symbols of resistance against English colonialism.
The story of Emile and Lucien is a testament to the power of courage, determination, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. It reminds us of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of impossible odds, and of the sacrifices that must be made to achieve justice and freedom.
In recognition of their bravery and contributions to history, Emile and Lucien are awarded the Historical Writing Association's Gold Crown Award. Their story continues to inspire generations, and they are remembered as heroes of the Caribbean and the fight for human rights.
