Drawing from historical journals and letters, New York Times
bestselling author Laura Elliot weaves a richly detailed tale about the
extraordinary Peggy Schuyler and her revolutionary friendship with
Alexander Hamilton. Perfect for fans of the smash musical sensation
Hamilton.
Peggy Schuyler has always felt like she's existed in the shadows of her
beloved sisters: the fiery, intelligent Angelica and beautiful, sweet
Eliza. But it's in the throes of a chaotic war that Peggy finds herself
a central figure amid Loyalists and Patriots, spies and traitors,
friends and family.
When a flirtatious aide-de-camp, Alexander Hamilton, writes to Peggy
asking for her help in wooing the earnest Eliza, Peggy finds herself
unable to deny such an impassioned plea. A fast friendship forms between
the two, but Alexander is caught in the same war as her father, and the
danger to all their lives is real.
Everything is a battlefield--from the frontlines to their carefully
coded letters--but will Peggy's bravery's and intelligence be enough to
keep them all safe?
