After four years the fires of revolution continue to burn, turning to ash Annalisa Howlett's girlhood. Long gone are the carefree days of dancing Minuets and her brief marriage to Jack Perkins. Even now she still yearns to remarry Jack and live the life she'd dreamt, but the threat of an arranged betrothal entices her to once again masquerade as private Benjamin Cavendish.
When a trip to Philadelphia introduces questionable acquaintances, Annalisa's alter ego is falsely accused of treason. She must fight, not only for her honor but to conceal her identity. Or face the gallows. Should she manage to evade corporal punishment, her secret continues to threaten the only thing she ever wanted: Jack. At a time when hope seems lost, will he be able to forgive her years of deceit and love the martyr?
In this, the final installment of the Muskets Trilogy, Annalisa, Jack, and George make their final stand on the bitter battlefields of war, secrecy, and love.
