In the first volume of "Patriots": Liza Byers is the eldest daughter of a Catholic, Boston storekeeper in 1775. Her upbringing has been unique in comparison to that of most girls. She has been educated by a French Jesuit in her home and has served as a courier to her father's friends in the Sons of Liberty. While her mother wants her to be a lady, Liza feels the call to join in the revolution in any way she can. She would much rather be riding horses and sitting in on meetings with her father's two apprentices than sipping tea and sewing on samplers. However, she soon learns what it means to be in a war. Her sheltered world is shattered by loss as the war begins, and her parents see the need to hurry her impending arranged marriage in order to secure the future of their business. Through all the tragedy, Liza must learn to use her brain, be resilient, and never cease to be a light to those who are suffering.

The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path
(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you.
