Trevannock: Paperback (Pre-Order)

What if the ships had sailed the other way?

Trevannock is the debut novel by Anthony Adeloye and Book One of Crossing-Kin, a five-book alternate history sequence set in 1782, in a world where the African Adunbi Imperium rules the Atlantic and the enslaved crossing it are European.

Elias Hollowell is an ordinary Cornish man caught inside extraordinary power. When his village is raided and his family taken, he is thrust into the machinery of an empire that has no place for him, and must navigate a world in which everything he assumed about power, belonging, and humanity has been inverted.

A story of what empire does to the people who never asked for it. Of what it means to lose everything, and what remains when you do.
