From the Back Cover
A secret courier for General Washington, Elizabeth Howard has strong loyalties to her country and equally strong feelings for blond-haired officer Jonathan Carleton. But they put their feelings on hold when Washington assigns Elizabeth to Boston, and Carleton to the Iroquois territory to negotiate with the Indian tribes.
While an assignment, Carleton is kidnapped by the Seneca and carried deep into Indian territory. Word of this reaches Elizabeth and she fears for his life. But Washington learns that the British will attempt to take New York, and he dispatches Elizabeth to the city. She quickly gains entrée to prominent British circles and access to intelligence that Washington desperately needs.
When Elizabeth learns that a blond- haired warrior is leading the Shawnee in raids against British outposts on the frontier, she believes this warrior must be Carleton. A determined Elizabeth quietly slips away on a perilous journey deep into Indian territory to find Carleton and bring him home.

Brigadier General Jonathan Carleton threw his aide a brooding look as he urged his bay stallion forward, farther out of earshot of the riders trailing down the road behind them. It was nearing two o'clock, Sunday, July 2, 1775. Pulling off his wide-brimmed slouch hat, he wiped his brow with the back of his gloved hand before settling it back on his head with a jerk. 'We'll undoubtedly be tied up with the generals until late.' Andrews pulled his mount alongside Carleton's. 'I thought you'd break away yesterday when we stopped at Watertown to meet with the Provincial Congress.' Carleton shook his head in frustration. 'The General insisted I stay. But I intend to see Beth tonight, even if it's past midnight before we get there.' 'Washington has kept you on a short rein ever since we met him in New York.' 'All to your credit, Charles. If you hadn't felt obliged to share every minute detail of my arrest and imminent hanging, we'd have been in Roxbury days ago.' 'It's a good thing the General is being cautious,' Andrews countered. 'If Isaiah hadn't been on the alert on the road to New York, Gage's agents would have us aboard ship to England by now, trussed up like a covey of Christmas geese.' 'And thank you for contributing a report on that little incident too,' Carleton returned sourly. 'You managed to persuade Washington that the price Gage has put on my head---and on yours---will prove too tempting for someone whose need for cold coin is greater than his allegiance to the cause of liberty.' Andrews returned a grin. 'I'm a small fish. It's you Gage wants. Considering the reward he's offering, he obviously means to exact revenge for his humiliation at your hands. After all, you did pluck him clean of all the intelligence the Committee of Safety could have hoped for---while nestled sweetly in the General's bosom.' Carleton's face clouded. 'That's what I despise about this. I should never have allowed myself to be persuaded to take on such a dishonorable role.' 'But spying in time of war is an ancient and necessary profession--- even a biblical one. Don't forget the twelve Hebrews who spied out the land of Canaan for Moses.' 'Yes, and because they listened to the ten who had no faith instead of the two who trusted God, the children of Israel wandered in the desert for the next forty years,' Carleton responded with a short laugh. The day was hot and humid following an early morning rain. Lazy wisps of cloud drifting inland from the ocean dotted the cerulean sky overhead. At ground level, between the low, wooded hills four miles from Boston Harbor, the breeze barely stirred the trees that shouldered each other along the road's edge, and each plop of the horses' hooves onto the sandy soil kicked a plume of gritty dust into the air. 'I hate to admit it, but in this heat these buckskins are no more comfortable than our new uniforms would have been. And it occurs to me they'd make a better impression on Ward and his staff than Indian dress.' Andrews surveyed Carleton's dusty leather hunting shirt, leggings, and moccasins that matched his own. 'You're undoubtedly right. They're already suspicious enough of you southerners being foisted on them without their having any say in the matter. I can imagine what they'll think if your former connection to the Shawnee comes out. But, alas, it's a tad late to transform ourselves into proper officers now.' 'I'd as soon arrive in war paint with my head shaved,' Carleton growled. 'Let them think we're true savages, and maybe they'll mend their ways. But then, I've never been renowned for being exceptionally politic.' 'That's an understatement, my friend. And speaking of diplomacy, how much have you told the General about you and Beth?' Carleton grimaced. 'Too deuced much, I fear. He seemed extraordinarily interested in Beth's role as spy and smuggler for the Sons of Liberty. But when I mentioned our intent to marry, he changed the subject rather abruptly.' Andrews raised an eyebrow. 'Do you think he opposes your plans?' His mouth tightening, Carleton turned in the saddle to measure the distance to the officers who rode at a leisurely pace behind them. All except their commander appeared too involved in conversation to pay him and Andrews much attention. As Carleton's glance met his, however, Washington spurred his stallion forward. 'I suspect I'll soon find out,' Carleton said in an undertone as Washington closed the distance between them. Both officers saluted as the newly elected commander of the Continental Army drew up beside them. Forty-three years old, with auburn hair and grey-blue eyes that smoldered with an inner fire, General George Washington exuded an immense physical energy that was both intimidating and highly attractive. A born horseman, powerful in build despite narrow, sloping shoulders, he possessed a natural charm that equally drew men and women to him. On occasion, however, Carleton had witnessed the prodigious temper that lay beneath that charm. Most of the time it was clamped under iron control, but it was a force Washington had learned how to unleash to the greatest effect when other means failed to motivate those under his authority. Studying his commander, Carleton harbored no doubt that the Continental Congress had chosen the right man for the difficult and delicate responsibility of molding into an effective fighting force the undisciplined and often contentious militia units besieging Boston. Considering the conflicts between the various factions in the Congress, he was confident the choice had resulted from much more than a merely human decision born of political considerations. 'I expect you are impatient to call on that young lady of yours,' Washington observed. Carleton forced a smile. 'Indeed, I am. Miss Howard and I---' 'Unfortunately, I am going to need you at Cambridge until late,' Washington cut him off. 'We have urgent business to settle with Ward and his staff before any of us will be free to attend to personal interests.' Carleton felt Washington's penetrating gaze on him, but deliberately did not meet it. Keeping his expression and tone carefully neutral, he said, 'I wait upon your convenience, sir.' Frowning, he stared along the curve of the road that stretched before them to the small town of Cambridge, currently the center of the rebel army besieging Boston and its garrison of British troops commanded by Lieutenant General Thomas Gage, commander in chief of His Majesty's armies in North America. To their right, the land sloped to the banks of the Charles River, where the knee-deep grasses had

I absolutely loved this book
By Mischelle Reynolds
Oh my goodness! I absolutely loved this book! I've read historical novels by other authors but J.M. Hochstetler is by far and away my absolute favorite. I was a bit skeptical when I started this series because although I enjoy exploring history through story, it can be a bit dry. Not this book! NOT this author. I was literally enthralled from the very first page. What a wonderful storyteller Msg Hochstetler is! I bought all the books (so far) in this series and you should too! If you are looking for one great book after another, this is the author for you!
