Sometimes, when you say the worst possible thing at the worst possible time, the consequences grab hold of you, shake you senseless, and make you doubt everything, even yourself…
Silas Warren knows what this is like. As a private soldier in the Continental Army, he has just secured a temporary stay of execution for a spy who has been found amongst their ranks. Desperate to save this man whom he has befriended, he argues that the spy could be used to assassinate a powerful enemy commander. Silas finds himself with the daunting task of convincing his general that the plan could win the American Revolution, which has ground on for six long and bloody years.
But no one could know of his own motives for wanting the British commander dead; no one could suspect that he has a score to settle with this man from his past.
Balancing the horror of war with friendship and courage, Where Loyalties Lie is an 80,000 word novel, the story of a young man’s journey to find himself and hold true to his beliefs against the tumultuous war for the birth of a new nation.
