About This Book

A rousing historical adventure follows a group of patriots drawn into an urban insurrection that grows into a wider military campaign. The narrative moves between street fighting, raids on arsenals, pitched battles and difficult retreats, and includes scouting missions, staff work, wounds, near captures, and surrender. Themes include loyalty, valor, the chaos of popular uprisings, and the harsh consequences of defeat, as imprisonment and executions shadow the closing chapters and the shifting politics of alliances shape the concluding outcomes.
