Plot
[opens with Aaron Dimont's trial, though its rushed nature made it in effect a mock trial, in which he is quickly found guilty of treason, insurrection, destruction of property and murder and sentenced to death; in his defence, Aaron simply recites the Bible verse Matthew 10:39: "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."; his verdict is given by the judge and Aaron closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, accepting his fate]
[jumps back to 1798 with a 17 year old Aaron Dimont, then under his birth name Mbingeleli Msutu, being snatched from a Sisulu village in modern Garambura and sold into slavery before being shipped to Île d'Émeraude]
[Aaron becomes ill upon his arrival, being near death until he makes a miraculous recovery; he views his recovery as "a gracious act of God" and converts to Sotirianity, getting baptized and given his new name]
[jumps to 1810 and Aaron remains a devout Sotirian, but begins to loath his bondage, the hypocrisy of the white Sotirian slaveholders which controlled Île d'Émeraude at the time, and the brutal mistreatment of his fellow Bahian slaves; an incident occurs where he openly decrys his owner as "no true Sotirian" to his face and is subsequently subject to flogging; following this, he experiences a vision in which he reportedly heard "the voice of Sotiras himself" telling him to "free [his] people"; he becomes determined to bring an end to slavery; He becomes a voice of hope in his community by writing and distributing abolitionist pamphlets under the pen name of A.

[Aaron and three other like-minded and literate Bahian slaves, Pascal Mondesir ([x]), Jonel Gustave ([x]), and Ronel Seide ([x]), meet together and begin to secretly organize a bold plan to lead a rebellion to overthrow the slaveholding planter-led aristocracy, driven by their shared desire for freedom; ]
