Patriots: New York

In the second volume of Patriots, Liza Byers has fled to New York City to escape her arranged marriage. Here she must learn to survive on her own as a barmaid in a busy tavern. Life as a young girl on her own is a lot harder than she imagined it would be, and more things fly out of control as the Revolutionary War rages in full swing. After a few deaths and petrifying experiences, she falls into a depression. However, one day a handsome young spymaster comes by and enlists her to be a courier for some intelligence gathering spies. Now working more fully in the cause her beloved friends are fighting for, she can find meaning and satisfaction in life...if she can survive.
