Daniel Bradford, a poor young Britisher, is separated in a cruel twist
of fate from his sister, Lyna, and left to rot in the infamous Dartmoor Prison. His only
hope for escape comes when he agrees to a seven-year indenture in America. But
he discovers he had traded on imprisonment for another under a cruel and exacting
master, Sir Leo Rochester.

But eventually, Daniel marries a young woman, Holly Blanchard, and they settle near

the taste of freedom sweeping the land. Then tragedy strikes and Daniel moves his family
to Boston, where he prospers and meets Sam Adams, the flaming patriot for independence.
Bound by his loyalty to England, he struggles as he sees two of his sons caught up with
the Sons of Liberty.

As the storm clouds of revolution begin to gather, family and friends must take sides as the
Colonies are inexorably swept into battle at Lexington and Concord. Daniel, too, must decide
his loyaltiesnot only politically, but deeply personal as well.
