Burn Down Master's House

Cane's debut novel is a work of historical fiction drawn on documented but little-told true stories of enslaved people who resisted. Set in the antebellum South, it follows an ensemble — among them the quick-witted Luke, the defiant Henri, Josephine, and the formidable Charity Butler — as each finds a different way to strike back at the system that holds them, from quiet sabotage to open rebellion. The author is the New York Times bestselling writer of The Grift (2024) and host of a SiriusXM program; the novel became a New York Times bestseller on publication.
