The story
History from
the other shore.
The first transatlantic slave ships did not cross from Africa to the Americas. They sailed east, carrying hundreds of captured Native Americans from the New World toward Europe.
Told through Guarocuya, a Native of Hispaniola, this historical novel confronts the human cost of Columbus’s search for wealth and recovers a chapter too often absent from the familiar story of discovery.
Praise for Columbus, Slave Trader
“It’s a gripping narrative that promises to capture your attention till the very end.”
