The year is 1776. And revolution is drawing nearer to American shores. The Schuylers, a rising star in New York society, has an invaluable asset - the oldest daughter, Anoushey, possesses an uncanny ability that could further her father's ascent into high society. Enrolling at King's College, she begins her role as a double agent, gaining the favour of the rebels while feeding information back to her father, who is utterly loyal to King George and the Crown. But a spar is thrown in her path when her sister becomes entangled with the handsome, reckless and utterly aggravating Alexander Hamilton. And her world is turned upside down.
