Daniel hated his brother. He knew it was wrong; knew his parents would be grieved if they discovered what was in his heart. But he had his fill of living in Taregan's shadow . . . Taregan the bold, the athletic, the courageous. How Daniel despised him! His only hope was to somehow escape Taregan and the life he'd always known.

Then British soldiers arrive, bringing with them the perfect opportunity, which Daniel accepts . . . never dreaming his choices will lead them all into danger, betrayal, and the greatest trial they have ever faced.
