Summary

The Revolutionary War is brewing, and when his Loyalist father is murdered by a mob of patriot, Sons of Liberty neighbors, Noah and his family flee their small town for the safety of Boston. Intent on avenging his father, Noah becomes a spy for the British, witnessing firsthand the power of partisan rumor to distort facts, even as his friendship with a young Black freeman opens his eyes to the hypocrisy of men who demand freedom while enslaving others. Awash in contradictory information and participating in key events leading to the War for Independence, Noah must forge his own understanding of right and wrong, determining for himself what -- or who -- truly deserves his loyalty
