Already treading on dangerous ground with military smugglers, lifetime friend and Patriot William Jackson helps her flee the patrol. She reluctantly joins him on his Sons of Liberty assignment to Berkshire. They are soon embroiled in conspiracies involving hostile Loyalists and unstable Indian alliances.
