The first shots of the American Revolutionary War have been fired.
It’s not long before sixteen-year-old Alice Stone is reeling with the loss of her patriotic brother. In a desperate bid to escape her grief, she runs to the woods to find solace away from the backdrop of her town. It’s there that she stumbles across a wounded redcoat.
Though Peter Harris is the enemy, Alice can’t leave him to die. As she nurses him back to health, she finds herself falling for the soldier who has a knack for helping her forget her sorrow. Their love grows in the midst of a war-torn country and against her family’s wishes.
But after Peter kills a Patriot deserter to protect Alice, Alice must help him escape—or watch him die at the hands of her Patriot village.
