Novel. It's 1746 and Georgian London is not a safe place for a young Black man. Sancho must dodge slave catchers and worse, and his main ally--a kindly duke who taught him to write--is dying. So how does he meet the king, write and play highly acclaimed music, become the first Black person to vote in Britain, and lead the fight to end slavery?
