Publisher's Synopsis
"One of the greatest adventure stories in American history ..."
Ethan Chambers' life is suddenly changed forever when his father suffers a horrific accident, only escaping death by the timely intervention of legendary frontiersman, Daniel Morgan. But the calamity has left Ethan's father permanently crippled and unable to work, forcing the teenager to take his place as the family breadwinner, a role for which he feels entirely unprepared.
And then, even as Ethan struggles to find work, leaders of the American colonies come to blows with an ever more violent and imperious British monarchy, at Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. Ethan and his new hero Daniel Morgan find themselves swept up in an irresistible tide of conflict as the defiant American colonies ignite a full-scale war against the mightiest nation on earth.
Despite his doubts and fears, Ethan joins Morgan's Virginia Riflemen in the fight for freedom. But as the company embarks on a treacherous expedition through the Canadian wilderness, battling both nature and the powerful British army, Ethan begins to question if he is truly capable of living up to Morgan's expectations.
As the stakes grow higher and winter approaches, Ethan, Daniel Morgan, and a rag-tag band of determined patriots must defy the odds and fight for their country on the perilous Road to Revolution.
