1777. Albany, New York.
As battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance,
servants flutter about preparing for one of New York society's biggest
events: the Schuylers' grand ball. Descended from two of the oldest and
most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be
one of their fledgling country's founding families, and even prouder
still of their three daughters--Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit;
Peggy, with her dazzling looks; and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival
those of both her sisters, though she'd rather be aiding the colonists'
cause than dressing up for some silly ball.
Still, Eliza can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the
arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel
and General George Washington's right-hand man. Though Alex has arrived
as the bearer of bad news for the Schuylers, he can't believe his
luck--as an orphan, and a bastard one at that--to be in such esteemed
company. And when Alex and Eliza meet that fateful night, so begins an
epic love story that would forever change the course of American
history.
In the pages of Alex and Eliza, #1 New York Times bestselling
author Melissa de la Cruz brings to life the romance of young Alexander
Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler.
