The Original Thirteen Colonies Box Set

Thirteen colonies. Thirteen novels. One Revolution!

The Tales From a Revolution series follows the American Revolution across every colony and future state, revealing how ordinary people experienced extraordinary times.

This special boxed edition collects the thirteen novels set in the original colonies in a handcrafted presentation case, creating a unique historical fiction collection that traces the Revolution from New Hampshire to Georgia.

What Makes This Collection Unique?

The American Revolution was not a single story.

It was fought by farmers and merchants, sailors and soldiers, enslaved people and free people, Patriots and Loyalists, Native Americans and immigrants. Each colony experienced the conflict differently.

These thirteen novels present the Revolution through the eyes of ordinary people caught in extraordinary events, creating a broad, human view of America's founding era.

Included Novels

The Bridge: Delaware

Caspar escapes an American ambush on his Hessian company, and builds a new life for himself as a tailor. When his old sergeant shows up after the peace treaty is signed, he must confront the question of whether former bitter foes can learn to live together.

The Convention: Massachusetts

Arthur Leary thought that his part in the Revolution ended when his generals surrendered their army to the Americans after the Battle of Saratoga. However, political maneuvering at the highest levels of British and American government would leave the British army marching across the landscape for years to come... unless he could find a way out.

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 Declaration: South-Carolina

Raising tobacco and his children were Justin’s priorities, until a British patrol strikes his community and drives him to take up arms in the cause of American independence. His actions echo down through the generations to change everything for his descendants.

The Freedman: North Carolina

Abruptly released from slavery, Calabar quickly learns that the fight against British tyranny would not lead to any sort of true liberty for himself. When his family is threatened, though, he must chose whether to fight to free a country that might never truly free him.

The Light: New-Jersey

Caught between his Quaker faith and the menace of British forces, Robert must find a way to keep his family safe while honoring the command to turn the other cheek. When the Hessians arrive, he will face the greatest challenge yet to his principles.

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 Oath: Georgia

James expected to be sent into harm's way when he signed up to serve in the militia. What he never expected was to take part in one of the most terrible battles of the Revolution -- nor to find brotherhood among the French allies who served beside him in the bloodstained trenches.

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 Siege: Virginia

Maimed in battle, Nathaniel doesn’t think that he’ll ever feel like a whole man again. When he finds himself trapped behind enemy lines at the siege that will change American history, though, he finds everything that’s been missing and more.

The Smoke: New-York

Ginawo of the Skarure tribe and Joseph from the American force sent to wipe them out should have been enemies. When a twist of fate reverses the roles of captor and captive, though, they instead find their way to brotherhood among the Haudenosaunee clans.

After the worst night of his life, Isaac doesn't know if he can save either his marriage or the cause of American Independence. With the British closing in on Philadelphia, he has no time to waste in either attempt!
