The Boy With Five Names
(2026)(The fourth book in the Paradice & Dark series)
A novel by Pamela Belle
Hannah Evans should be happy. She has a loving husband, a beautiful new daughter, good friends and, crucially, her freedom. But one person is missing from her life: her son, Kojo, torn away from her and sold to strangers when he was only five years old. And now, she feels safe enough to try to find him.
In the course of her search, Hannah and her friends, Polly, Dark and Gin, will meet many people of African origin in London, including Septimius Severus, their unofficial leader and helper of runaways, Lady Lucinda, who is not all she seems, and her mother, Mrs Bradley, proprietor of a shady sailors’ tavern in Wapping. It will also bring them dangerously close to those who have enslaved Kojo and another child, once known as Pompey, and kept them in servitude and misery. Can both boys be helped to freedom at last? And at what cost?
