Daniel Bradford, a poor young Britisher, is separated in a cruel twist
of fate from his sister, Lyna, and left to rot in the infamous Dartmoor Prison. His only

master, Sir Leo Rochester.

But eventually, Daniel marries a young woman, Holly Blanchard, and they settle near

the taste of freedom sweeping the land. Then tragedy strikes and Daniel moves his family
to Boston, where he prospers and meets Sam Adams, the flaming patriot for independence.

As the storm clouds of revolution begin to gather, family and friends must take sides as the

his loyaltiesnot only politically, but deeply personal as well.
