Blood of the Bond-master — Richard Tresillian

At Roxborough Estate, the hand that cracks the whip mus be a white hand. But the owners of the plantation have shared their beds and their lives with the blacks they breed for sale- and in the line of inheritance black blood mixes with white. The servant who pours Carlton's rum is his son, the master he serves is Carlton's son. And each child has a mother scheming for her son one day to be the Bondmaster. In the struggle for power, there will be pain and passion, incest and intrigue, cruelty and death for these, too, flow from the Blood of the Bondmaster.
