From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Witches
of East End and The Descendants comes the love story of
young Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler.
1777. Albany, New York.
As battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the
distance, servants flutter about preparing for one of New
York society’s biggest events: the Schuylers’ grand ball.
Descended from two of the oldest and most distinguished
bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of
their fledgling country’s founding families, and even
prouder still of their three daughters—Angelica, with her
razor-sharp wit; Peggy, with her dazzling looks; and Eliza,
whose beauty and charm rival those of both her sisters,
though she’d rather be aiding the colonists’ cause than
dressing up for some silly ball.
Still, Eliza can barely contain her excitement when she
hears of the arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a
mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George
Washington’s right-hand man. Though Alex has arrived as the
bearer of bad news for the Schuylers, he can’t believe his
luck—as an orphan, and a bastard one at that—to be in such
esteemed company. And when Alex and Eliza meet that fateful
night, so begins an epic love story that would forever
change the course of American history.
In the pages of Alex and Eliza, #1 New York Times
bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz brings to life the
romance of young Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler.
