Product Description
by Katherine Kurtz (Author)
Bestselling fantasist Katherine Kurtz combines magic, Freemasonry, and the revalation in this spellbinding tale of the American Revolution as it might have been . . .
It's 1775, and in Europe, an unseen Master peers into a darkened mirror to see the man whose destiny is to wear the victor's crown. Across the sea, in a land named for a virgin queen, Gen. George Washington is thrown from his horse and has a dream that will haunt him for the rest of his life. Soon, a reluctant Washington will be elected Commander-in-Chief of the new Continental Army and considered for the position of king of America--and his rise will set in motion a chain of events that lead directly to rebellion. But little do the colonists and Founding Fathers realize that they are part of a greater plan, being used as pawns in another person's game of power and conquest. "A fascinating blend of history, adventure and conjecture which will excite the reader page after page."--Abilene Reporter-NewsFront Jacket
