Publisher's Synopsis
"An Absolute Delight!" Diana Gabaldon, Author of 'Outlander'.
London, 1759: Life is easy for Jack Absolute, a dashing young man, loved by the ladies and envied by his schoolmates. With a place secured in college at Cambridge and a baronetcy at hand, his future seems bright. But one night of revelry, and a duel over a woman destroys Jack's fortune instantly. He is forced to flee the country and seek a new fate as a soldier in the dangerous New World during the ruthless French and Indian Wars. There, amid hostile natives, fierce colonial rivalries, and the brutal wilds of North America, he struggles for something far more vital than riches: his survival. But to survive, Jack must be blooded for life. He must learn to kill.
