What unites a child of the slums with the man who would shake a troubled country out of slavery? Is it the darkness they share.
It is the presence of slave and revolutionary leader Toussaint L'Ouverture, whose life was marred by violence, and whose own end came in darkness. Yet as Shorty waits in darkness for a rescue that may never come, he becomes aware of another presence, one reaching out to him across two hundred years of history. Surrounded by lifeless bodies and growing desperately weak from lack of food and water, death seems imminent. "Shorty" is a Haitian boy trapped in the ruins of a hospital when the earth explodes around him. Printz Award Bloomsbury is proud to be the global publisher of In Darkness, a stunning tour-de-force set in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake.
