The year is 1774. As the Coercive Acts tighten Great Britain's grip on the American colonies, the quiet life of Ethan Kincaid, a young frontier trapper in western Massachusetts, is shattered. Brutal enforcement led by the ambitious Captain Marcus Thorne leaves Ethan's younger brother gravely injured and their homestead in ruins, igniting a burning quest for personal revenge that draws him into the heart of the burgeoning rebellion. His unmatched frontier skills-tracking, marksmanship, survival-soon find a new purpose in the desperate fight for liberty, leading him through the first bloody clashes at Lexington and Concord, the carnage of Bunker Hill, and into the clandestine world of Patriot intelligence under the guidance of spymaster Josiah Bartlett. Meanwhile, in Boston, Sarah Woodford, a sharp-witted and observant seamstress with access to all levels of society, harbors secret Patriot sympathies. As the city transforms into an occupied powder keg, she uses her position to gather crucial intelligence, her needle and thread weaving a dangerous web of espionage. Her courage is tested daily as she aids the resistance, navigates the treacherous attentions of Loyalist counter-intelligence chief Silas Blackwood, and faces the constant threat of British retribution. Her journey takes her from besieged Boston to occupied Philadelphia and the perilous streets of New York, where she becomes a vital link in a sophisticated spy ring, working with mysterious figures like Agent 355 to funnel critical information to General Washington. "Rebellion's Fire" sweeps across the epic canvas of the American Revolutionary War, from the northern wilderness campaigns and the pivotal victory at Saratoga, through the brutal winter at Valley Forge and the complex battles in the South, culminating in the decisive siege of Yorktown. Ethan and Sarah, their fates increasingly intertwined, confront not only external enemies like the relentless Captain Thorne but also internal threats of betrayal and disillusionment. They witness legendary acts of heroism and moments of profound despair, all while grappling with the immense personal costs of war. This meticulously researched historical thriller plunges readers into the gritty realities of the fight for independence, where the struggle for a new nation is fought not only on the battlefield but in the shadows, by ordinary individuals displaying extraordinary courage. In the heart of a rebellion that would forge a nation; a frontiersman's quest for vengeance and a seamstress's fight for liberty ignite a firestorm against the might of the British Empire. Ethan Kincaid; driven by personal loss at the hands of the ruthless Captain Thorne; finds his frontier skills tested in the crucible of war; from the first shots at Lexington to the shadowy operations of Patriot intelligence. Sarah Woodford; a resourceful Boston seamstress; navigates the treacherous currents of occupied cities; her needle and wit becoming weapons in a clandestine war against Loyalist counter-spy Silas Blackwood and the ever-present threat of British retaliation. Their parallel journeys through the defining battles and secret operations of the American Revolution-from Bunker Hill to Saratoga; the desperation of Valley Forge to the pivotal victory at Yorktown-force them to confront the brutal costs of defiance and the true meaning of loyalty. As their paths intertwine amidst the chaos of a world turned upside down; Ethan and Sarah must risk everything for a future they can barely imagine; where the embers of rebellion might finally blaze into the dawn of a new; independent United States.
