The Cautious Siege: A Novel of the American Revolution (Loyalties Series)

In this thrilling sequel to Transcendent Loyalties, Anna Somerset, Daniel Garrett, and Drummond “Drum” Fisackerly are thrust into the chaos following what has become known as the Battle of Bunker Hill. The summer of 1775 sizzles with tension as newly appointed General George Washington arrives in Cambridge, only to find his fledgling Continental Army has ignited the war without him. With Boston under siege, Washington must carefully orchestrate his strategy to drive the British out without destroying the city or alienating its citizens. Daniel and Drum embrace their destinies with fervor. Daniel is on a relentless hunt for a ruthless band of raiders masquerading as militiamen, while Drum embarks on a perilous mission with Henry Knox to retrieve cannons from Fort Ticonderoga. Inside the besieged city, Anna faces a trifecta of challenges: food and fuel shortages, a smallpox epidemic, and a house overflowing with Loyalist refugees. Amidst the turmoil, Daniel wages a heartfelt campaign to win Anna’s heart–a siege as cautiously laid as Washington’s siege on Boston. Action and adventure, romance, and history–The Cautious Siegeis a sweeping story that may appeal to fans of Bernard Cornwell, C. S. Harris, Ken Follett, C. S. Forester, and Colleen McCullough.
