American Revolutionary WarChristian FictionHistorical Fiction
Brigadier General Jonathan Carleton has pledged his allegiance to General George Washington, and his heart to the fiery Elizabeth Howard. As the beautiful daughter of Loyalists, she deftly moves among British officers by day and elusively slips across the countryside to give their secrets to the Sons of Liberty by night.
When General Washington arrives in Cambridge to take command of the American forces, he orders Carleton to undertake a perilous journey deep into Indian territory, and requests that Elizabeth stay behind to continue her work as a spy.
As Elizabeth gains further entree into Loyalist circles and access to the intelligence Washington desperately needs, she receives news that Carleton has been captured by the Indians and his fate uncertain. The British begin receiving reports that a blond-haired warrior is leading Shawnee raids against their outposts on the frontier as British general William Howe unleashes an overwhelming invasion force against New York.
