Born into poverty in the grimy streets of London, Mary Critchett's life was shaped by hunger, hardship, and the need to survive in a world that offered her nothing. Convicted of theft and transported to the colonies, she endured the brutal reality of life in a penal colony as forced labor in indentured servitude-until she chose something far more dangerous: escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith nothing but desperation and the fragile bonds of trust, Mary joins a ragtag crew of fellow convicts.
