Sophia is in a bind.  She wants to protect her family, especially her father and brother, but she also needs to intervene in a plot she has discovered.  How can she stop the plot without involving her family, or for that matter getting herself hanged.            The book opens with Sophia witnessing a hanging of a young soldier by the enemy.  She is so horrified that she decides to help the American cause in the Revolution. However, she never realized how difficult it will be to be a spy and acquire information that could lead to her death by hanging for conspiracy.

The line she walks is thin indeed when she tries to make sure she will never be recognized and that no one will be able to connect her to her family.  This is a­­ historical story with a bit of doomed romance, a lot of treachery, good and bad guys and an adventure story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
