This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. AFRIKAN New York City, 1902. Some cages are lined with gold—but they're still cages. Peck Marston has everything a young man could want: Yale education, vast wealth, and an enviable future as heir to the Marston Shipping empire. His marriage to Margaret Simmons—beautiful daughter of oil magnate Roger Simmons—will unite two of America's most powerful families and secure untold riches for generations. There's just one problem: Peck has fallen in love with Africa. The wild, untamed Serengeti calls to him with a voice louder than duty, stronger than obligation. He dreams not of boardrooms and society balls, but of endless plains beneath impossible skies, of a freedom his gilded Manhattan life will never offer. When the Marston and Simmons families discover his plans to abandon everything for the Dark Continent, they move swiftly to protect their investment. The cage door swings shut—lined with silk and privilege, but locked nonetheless. Now Peck must choose: surrender to the life mapped out for him, or risk everything for a dream that burns brighter than family fortune. In a world where power and money decide a man's fate, can one young heir forge his own destiny? Or will the weight of expectation crush the wild spirit that refuses to be tamed? Some men inherit empires. Some men chase horizons. Peck Marston must decide which man he'll become.
