[Sonnets of the Spice Isle 05] • The Trail of Chains

** Chained to an Acacia Tree, While Chief Banda's Village Burns**

Captured and bound for Bagamoyo only moments after the captain was shot, RyAnne is tempted to despair. The journey along the trail of chains would be difficult enough, but severe heat, fire, and a rogue lion threaten at every curve in the path. Only her need to keep watch over little Moyo keeps her from giving up all together. That and her determination to carry on Captain Dawson's mission to find out who the slave trader, Khalifa, is working for.

Trent Dawson wakes to find June and Kako working to save his life. The village is gone. And only one thing weighs on his mind. He must find and rescue RyAnne before the slave caravan reaches the port of Bagamoyo. There is no time for rest, yet his gunshot body demands it. If only his frail flesh wasn't failing him just when he needed it to be strong!

*A thrilling historical romance from the time of missionary explorer David Livingstone.*

**This is Episode 5 of a serialized historical Christian romance story, set in East Africa at the height of the slave trade.**
