Anderson, M. (2008). The astonishing life of Octavian Nothing traitor to the nation. Cambridge, Mass. Candlewick Press.Fearing a death sentence, Octavian and his tutor, Dr. Trefusis, escape through rising tides and pouring rain to find shelter in British-occupied Boston. Sundered from all he knows — the College of Lucidity, the rebel cause — Octavian hopes to find safe harbor. Instead, he is soon to learn of Lord Dunmore's proclamation offering freedom to slaves who join the counterrevolutionary forces. As Octavian's experiences in the Revolutionary War explode around him, he is thrust into intense battles and is tantalized by elusive visions of liberty. This is the second book of the series, The Kingdom on the Waves.
