Yorktown, 1781. The cannons have stopped, and the world has turned upside down. But for Captain Elias Thorne, an intelligence officer haunted by the Black Dog of trauma and the manic brilliance of the Sun, the silence of peace is more terrifying than the roar of battle.
While the Continental Army waits in the freezing mud of Newburgh, unpaid, starving, and forgotten by a bankrupt Congress, a new enemy rises from within. It isn't a Redcoat with a bayonet-it is a conspiracy of ink and whispers. Alexander Hamilton, blindingly ambitious, wants to use the army's rage to terrify the government into action. General Horatio Gates, the Hero of Saratoga, plots to use that same rage to seize command for himself.
As the Anchor-General George Washington-begins to drag under the weight of a mutiny that threatens to ignite a civil war, Elias must step out of the shadows. Teaming up with the burned and lethal spy Isabella Stirling (Agent 355), Elias races to solve the ultimate equation: How do you save a republic that is determined to destroy itself?.
The answer lies not in a sword, but in a fragile pair of wire-rimmed spectacles-and the courage of a legend willing to show his soldiers that he is also a man, flesh and blood.
