Description:

Possessed of natural charm and abilities beyond human perception, Oscar Gallagher is fleeing a past wrought with scandal and treachery. Leaving behind social unrest in England and many powerful enemies, Oscar finds a place among the revolutionaries of the New World. His attentions are drawn foremost to a singular young woman who may influence the outcome of his soul. Mercia Sinclair has aspirations toward evangelism. Her most outspoken critic is none other than the wayward sea captain, blown into the Colonies amidst grave speculation for his crimes abroad. Enthralled with his powers of persuasion but offended by his attempts to influence her fate, Mercia unwillingly becomes a pawn in a deadly game of social rivalries and personal vendettas as the battle between Oscar Gallagher and Louis Fitzgerald escalates against the mighty backdrop of the American Revolution.
