Official synopsis Publisher
The year is 1796, and like the fledgling United States Army he serves, Captain Bran Gruffudd is young, reckless, and full of potential; but when victory on the battlefield gives way to tragedy at home, Bran is left with nothing. Then Bran’s uncle dies, and an unanticipated inheritance and title give the young American the opportunity to begin anew. To secure his ancestral birthright, Bran must first journey across the Atlantic to the Gruffudd family’s four hundred-year-old holdings in southern Wales. Arriving in Great Britain, Bran’s future is far less bright than he might have hoped. A missing fortune, attempts on his life, unlikely alliances, and a young ward are just some of the surprises that lay ahead. In the end, Bran discovers that true peace will only come through victory, as he once again is forced to take up arms to defend all that he holds dear.
