With the Revolutionary War underway, Ellie sees more history than she ever expected or wanted to see. The Battle of Bunker Hill was even more horrendous than Ellie predicted, leaving more dead and wounded than anyone imagined. When the fight moves from Boston into New York and Philadelphia, can General Washington make a stand against the British Army? Is anywhere safe from the complete destruction of everything the armies touch?Despite his brother-in-law having been an officer in the British Army for two decades, Captain Jack Emerson never thought he'd be caught up in the politics of the day. Having always tried to stay neutral, he finds he can no longer do so and when the Continental Congress grants permission for merchants to engage in privateering, he finds himself supporting the Cause against his wife's wishes. What will Adelaide think when she finds out?When the armies come to New York and Philadelphia, the inhabitants quickly learn the damage each side can wreak on everything they touch. No one is safe from the wrath of either side and cities are left burning in their wake while everyone's loyalty is questioned. Is the British Army an occupying force as the Patriots would have the people believe or a liberating one? Does either side have the interests of the people in mind or are they simply two sides of the same coin?
