It's 1776. The American Revolution teeters on the brink of collapse. George Washington and his Continental Army are on the run, suffering defeat after defeat. The British Army pursues them, bent on hunting the American soldiers to extinction. Across the colonies, the raging war pits neighbor against neighbor. Loyalists fight for their king. Patriots fight for bold, new ideas of freedom. Into this land torn asunder enters Jeb Wright, the twenty-year-old son of smuggler parents. Seven years earlier, Jeb's parents fled with him from New York to France, one step ahead of the hangman. Now, Jeb returns from self-imposed exile. He wants only one thing: to reunite with Rebecca Bennett, his childhood sweetheart. Instead, Jeb finds Rebecca has betrothed herself to Major Donovan Huxley, a mysterious British officer. Jeb soon discovers Huxley keeps a terrible secret, one that could doom Rebecca, Washington, and the Revolution. But Jeb keeps his own secret: a hidden past and fighting skills never before seen in Colonial America. Jeb Wright, Colonial Assassin, is the first volume of an epic trilogy set during the darkest hours of the American Revolution. The fate of Rebecca-and America-lies in Jeb's hands.
