"What would you do if you were kidnapped by someone in your own family, and then forced to live like a slave, in spite of the royal blood running through your veins? Despite that, you manage to fall in love with your captor's first in command? A love that is strictly forbidden, not just to her captor but to others as well. Chaka Annyah Donna-Vox happens to be the person this story is about. Her story will grip you, and put you in the thoughts of this strong-willed woman and members of her family. A family that will not give up on her, even when the situation appears hopeless. A family with troubles of their own. This is the first section of an on-going series. It's purpose is to introduce the reader to the characters and their personalities, as well as to the love story that drives the main character."

This book is Dedicated to Joan Funk Who's been my sounding board, and biggest support, since this story's genesis almost 20 years ago! She has been able to help open my mind when it puts up blocks, by just casting out ideas of her own, and helping me to see down new avenues of my imagination. I thank her greatly for just being there and putting up with me for all these years!
