Fall 1776: Times that try men's souls!
Despite stopping the onslaught of the British and Hessians at Harlem, General George Washington faces a deluge of crises. The City of New York is firmly in enemy hands. His army holds the upper island of Manhattan by only a hair. The Royal Navy controls the waters around New York. And now the American spy Nathan Hale is trapped behind enemy lines. He turns to his young cavalier, Lieutenant Jeremiah Creed. Sent behind enemy lines, Creed's small band faces British regulars, angry Tories, and unscrupulous traitors as they weave through the chaos of occupied New York. But Creed's mission meets with shocking results.
Despite stopping the onslaught of the British and Hessians at Harlem, General George Washington faces a deluge of crises. The City of New York is firmly in enemy hands.

He turns to his young cavalier, Lieutenant Jeremiah Creed. Sent behind enemy lines, Creed's small band faces British regulars, angry Tories, and unscrupulous traitors as they weave through the chaos of occupied New York. But Creed's mission meets with shocking results.
Driven from New York with his army fleeing the British advance across the Jerseys and the cause of independence on the brink, Washington gives Creed a most dangerous mission. Recruit a band of Jersey outlaws of doubtful loyalty to counter the Hessians and Loyalists terrorizing Jersey's Hackensack Valley. But a mysterious young widow complicates the mission. The clandestine war grows more savage and the stakes get higher when Creed and his men stumble on a crafty British spymaster's plot to win the war in a bold stroke.
With winter fast approaching, the glorious cause faces destruction. Needing a desperate gambit to stave off defeat, Washington plans a surprise counterstroke. To succeed, Washington must once more send Creed into the bosom of the enemy. His mission: espionage. Can the Cavalier Spy succeed? For the sake of American independence - he must!
