This is set during the period of John Brown’s guerilla war against pro-slavery forces. Reading up independently on John Brown was learning something my high school history courses had sort of glazed over in a vastly different light. This crazy story has an interracial love triangle, two of whom are basically foster siblings, and for a hot second I thought that the Englishman had a gay nurse crushing on him.

So, the fairy tale aspect of these stories is strong. I’m 99% sure that White Eagle is the disgraced heir that Maxwell had been looking for, which makes Winona the inheritor of the estate, which is the real reason that White Eagle was murdered and the kids were abducted into slavery. I could be wrong, but obscured identities and crazy inheritances were major plot points in the three Hopkins stories I’ve read.

DISAPPOINTINGLY, Allen Pinks was actually a woman in disguise.

Also, trigger warning, I had no idea how Real Hopkins was gonna get but one of the things she says Warren witnessed in the slave prison is heavily hinted at to be prison rape.
