About this item
by Robert J. Shade (Author)
The Governess is a Fugitive from Justice! It's 1776 and Great Britain is astir. Regiments are recruiting and troop transports are assembling in every major seaport as the King's government prepares to send a massive army to subdue the growing revolution in its North American colonies. Mary Fraser, former "Daughter of the Regiment" in the 42nd Foot, has spent eight years living her dream of serving as governess on an estate in the Scottish Highlands. Then, one night in March, the unthinkable occurs. The new master of Bonniecrest Manor lies dead in a pool of blood on the floor of Mary's bedchamber and she must flee for her life in a world where peril and treachery await around every corner. There's only one place where she'll find refuge, but it will take all the savvy camp follower survival skills she can muster and the help of old friends and unlikely allies to get there.In this second novel of his Rebellion Road series, Robert J Shade brings the lost love of Virginia gunsmith and scout Wend Eckert back into the story line in a fast paced, suspense filled tale which will keep the reader glued to its pages while illuminating an infrequently explored side of the American Revolution.
