Each of the eighteen standalone novels in the Tales From a Revolution series explores the American Revolution in a different colony or future state, through the eyes of ordinary people swept up in extraordinary events.
This New-England collection brings together six novels set across Vermont, Maine, Rhode-Island, New-Hampshire, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, tracing the early years of the rebellion and the many motivations, loyalties, and contradictions that shaped it. Each novel is about the length of The Great Gatsby, bringing to vivid life the ordinary people who persevered through American Revolution. (Over 1,200 pages total.)
Together, these books offer a ground-level view of the Revolution as it unfolded in farms, villages, prisons, households, and occupied towns—far beyond the familiar slogans and speeches.
For readers new to the series, this collection is a natural place to begin.
The Prize: Vermont
Caleb yearns to help his father in the war, instead of taking his place at the family farm. A chance encounter with a neighbor whose past haunts him will turn everything upside-down, and give Caleb everything he hopes for.
The Darkness: Maine
George knows little of science and would rather shirk his chores and dodge British occupiers in town than study it. When ominous phenomena overtake his little community, though, he finds himself in up to his neck in both deadly intrigues and an expedition of discovery.
The Path: Rhode-Island
Serving King Louis and his ma, Yves never expected to be sent across the ocean to fight the British on a distant shore. He expected even less to discover that the liberty for which he was supposed to fight would not be shared with all Americans.
The Tree: New-Hampshire
Newly orphaned, Abe must assume the responsibilities of adulthood almost overnight. Avoiding British authorities and the scrutiny of his eccentric aunt, he becomes entangled in a shocking outbreak of violence that points the way toward revolution.
The Mine: Connecticut
Tossed into an abandoned copper mine like a common criminal, Alec is soon drawn into escape schemes and resistance to the American rebellion against his King. When the chance comes to win his freedom, he is aided by the unlikeliest of allies – a barber girl he’s known since childhood.
The Convention: Massachusetts
Sent to put down the American rebellion, Arthur now languishes with thousands of fellow British captives. A Massachusetts farmer offers him an alternative to the prison camp, and he must discover whether he'll find freedom, or if it will mean that he'll never again see home.
