America, 1787. Ethan Saunders, once among General Washington's most
valued spies, is living in disgrace after an accusation of treason cost
him his reputation. But an opportunity for redemption comes calling when
Saunders's old enemy, Alexander Hamilton, draws him into a struggle with
bitter rival Thomas Jefferson over the creation of the Bank of the
United States.
Meanwhile, on the western Pennsylvania frontier, Joan Maycott and her
husband, a Revolutionary War veteran, hope for a better life and a
chance for prosperity. But the Maycotts' success on an isolated frontier
attracts the brutal attention of men who threaten to destroy them.
As their causes intertwine, Joan and Saunders-both patriots in their own
way-find themselves on opposing sides of a plot that could tear apart a
fragile new nation.
