When we terraformed Mars, we doomed Earth. It is now the year 3000, and there is no hope. Unity controls Earth, ruling with the mind-warping technology of the BioMage. And on Mars, where humanity fled, we answer to the criminal factions of the Overlords. There is no freedom. There is no hope. Until, of course, Firebird rose. And as the most powerful BioMage ever born, her will could be the one that changes a life, that changes the Worlds. My name is Jezi Lurk, and these are the Firebird Chronicles.

In the early 1900s, African Americans like Exie are free...but there are many who would seek to keep them in bondage, especially plantation owner Moor Jones. It's a world where being strong is your only hope of survival, but luckily, that's something Exie and her family are good at. Exie isn't afraid to speak her mind, but reckless behavior on a plantation owned by abusive racist comes with its risks. When Moor Jones refuses to pay Exie's husband Jake, and then even goes so far as to steal food from Exie's garden, she knows she has to step up and take action to protect herself and her children.Based on a true story, Jake's Lineage is a story of suffering and power, of hope and the true strength of family to overcome.
