Rebellion's Fire: A Spark of Liberty

The year is 1774. As the Coercive Acts tighten Great Britain's grip on the American colonies; the quiet life of Ethan Kincaid; a young frontier trapper in western Massachusetts; is shattered. Brutal enforcement led by the ambitious Captain Marcus Thorne leaves Ethan’s younger brother gravely injured and their homestead in ruins; igniting a burning quest for personal revenge that draws him into the heart of the burgeoning rebellion. His unmatched frontier skills—tracking; marksmanship; survival—soon find a new purpose in the desperate fight for liberty; leading him through the first bloody clashes at Lexington and Concord; the carnage of Bunker Hill; and into the clandestine world of Patriot intelligence under the guidance of spymaster Josiah Bartlett.

Meanwhile; in Boston; Sarah Woodford; a sharp-witted and observant seamstress with access to all levels of society; harbors secret Patriot sympathies. As the city transforms into an occupied powder keg; she uses her position to gather crucial intelligence; her needle and thread weaving a dangerous web of espionage. Her courage is tested daily as she aids the resistance; navigates the treacherous attentions of Loyalist counter-intelligence chief Silas Blackwood; and faces the constant threat of British retribution. Her journey takes her from besieged Boston to occupied Philadelphia and the perilous streets of New York; where she becomes a vital link in a sophisticated spy ring; working with mysterious figures like Agent 355 to funnel critical information to General Washington.

"Rebellion's Fire" sweeps across the epic canvas of the American Revolutionary War; from the northern wilderness campaigns and the pivotal victory at Saratoga; through the brutal winter at Valley Forge and the complex battles in the South; culminating in the decisive siege of Yorktown. Ethan and Sarah; their fates increasingly intertwined; confront not only external enemies like the relentless Captain Thorne but also internal threats of betrayal and disillusionment. They witness legendary acts of heroism and moments of profound despair; all while grappling with the immense personal costs of war. This meticulously researched historical thriller plunges readers into the gritty realities of the fight for independence; where the struggle for a new nation is fought not only on the battlefield but in the shadows; by ordinary individuals displaying extraordinary courage.
