(PRLeap.com) "The Gift: Slavery to Freedom," a new book by Kenneth Lamar King, has been recently published.

In 2020, ordinary Jacksonville resident Ken Kingsley encounters Thomas Pickering III, a dying stranger carrying a secret that defies the laws of physics. Pickering is not just a wealthy eccentric. He is a fugitive from a distant century fleeing his own history. With his final breath, Pickering passes a powerful ring to Ken. The object is no mere piece of jewelry; it is a functioning gateway to temporal travel.

Once Pickering's attorney confirms the impossible truth, Ken is thrust directly into a dangerous world of high-stakes, cross-century power. Rejecting the temptation of future riches, Ken is instead haunted by the dark origins of the Pickering family wealth: a historic Southern plantation built on the backs of enslaved people.

Armed with advanced 25th-century technology, Ken launches a perilous, one-man mission into the heart of the Old South. His goal is absolute: dismantle the Pickering legacy and break the chains of the past. Racing against time itself, Ken must confront the ultimate question: can one person truly rewrite history, or will the price of freedom demand more than he can survive?

"The Gift: Slavery to Freedom" is a 376-page paperback at the suggested retail price of $14.99 (also available in hardback and eBook format). The ISBN is 979-8-89525-570-4.
