Massachusetts 1775. Jacob Greyson stares into a future without prospects. He covets the family name and fortune of his best friend William Waterford, part of a distinguished family with ties to the powerful aristocracy in England.
Jacob hopes to marry Amelia, William’s sister. Following his friend, he seeks to become one of the splendid young men in a uniform of bright red and glittering gold lace. As a British officer surely Amelia’s parents will approve of him.
Tragedy engulfs Jacob’s life and his enemies are protected by the very things Jacob thought he wanted. Family name and fortune.
In an abyss of loneliness and despair, Jacob finds an improbable friend. A girl marksman with a prophetic name — Destiny. The woods girl.
At Destiny’s urging, Jacob rejects his dreams of aristocracy and joins the ‘rebels’.
In the midst of “the shot heard round the world” Jacob finds himself in the fiery midst of a new war, a new country, and a new love.
A story of one boy's transformation from passive acceptance of an unjust system to a man willing to fight for what is right.
