The war was over. The chains weren't.

Set in Reconstruction-era Louisiana in 1866, UNBOUND is a sweeping literary novel that explores the enduring trauma of slavery and the false hope of freedom in a South unwilling to change.

Four lives intersect in the violent aftermath of the Civil War: Julia Rose Till, a mixed-race woman born into bondage but raised in her master's house under privilege and wealth; her formerly enslaved husband, Joseph Fontaine, a man navigating hope alongside fear and doubt about his newfound freedom; Jeremy Twomey, son of an enslaver and haunted by the suffering endured on his family's plantation who returns to its ruins for redemption-and reckoning; and Charmagne Elle Boudreaux, a wealthy French dressmaker who arrives from France determined to disrupt the violent legacies of the past by using her wealth and influence.

As Black Codes take hold, white supremacist cabals rise, and federal promises fade, these characters move through a fractured landscape where power and defiance collide.

UNBOUND weaves historical truth with lyrical fiction in the tradition of Beloved, The Nickel Boys, and The Prophets.

For readers of historical fiction, African American literature, and Southern Gothic narratives, this debut novel delivers a powerful reckoning with survival, identity, and the cost of freedom.
