Publisher's Synopsis
Spy. Redcoat. Traitor.
After Captain John Carlisle's dance with death, he's retreated to the serenity of the Oneida village with his beloved Dellis McKesson, trying to hide from the inevitable truth that war is coming to the Mohawk River Valley. But when duty calls and John's expertise is needed to negotiate a treaty between the Six Nations of Iroquois and the Crown, he'll once again be faced with a decision: his King or his conscience.
Many secrets have yet to be revealed, and a deal with the Devil made in desperation, threatens to ruin Dellis and John's hard-won love. As ghosts of the past resurface, and bitter family rivalry exposes betrayal from those closest to her, Dellis is dragged down a devastating path to the truth of her parents' murders.
The die is cast as St. Leger and his native allies siege Fort Stanwix in the Summer of 1777. The British are planning a secret attack that will force the Rebels and the Oneida to face off against the Crown and their allies, further dividing John's loyalties, leaving him on the precipice of a decision: Rebel or Redcoat?
