Historical
A sweeping tale of love, ambition, and a war that ignited
a revolution... 1754. In a low-lying glen in Ohio Country, where both
the French and English claim dominion, the first musket ball
fired signals the start of a savage seven-year conflict
destined to dismantle France's overreaching empire and pave
the way for the American Revolution. In a world on the brink
of astonishing change are Quentin Hale, the fearless
gentleman-turned-scout, fighting to preserve his beloved
family plantation, Shadowbrook; Cormac Shea, the part-Irish,
part-Indian woodsman with a foot in both worlds; and the
beautiful Nicole Crane, who, struggling to reconcile her
love for Hale and her calling to the convent, becomes a pawn
in the British quest for territory. Moving between the longhouses of the Iroquois and
Shadowbrook's elegant rooms, the frontier's virgin forests
and the cobbled streets of Québec, Swerling weaves a tale of
passion and intrigue, faith and devotion, courage and
betrayal. Peopled with a cast of unforgettable characters
and historical figures, including a young George Washington,
this richly textured novel vividly captures the conflict
that opened the eighteenth century and ignited our nation's
quest for independence. A classic in the making, Shadowbrook
is a page-turning tale of ambition, war, and the
transforming power of both love and duty.
