Описание:

Kentucky. Now it's 1838. Steven and Amanda have not been able to get back into Verdura for two years, no matter what they've done. They don't know if promises made there have come true or if something terrible has happened.

But things have changed in Kentucky. Amanda's grown older and her father wants her to marry a young man who's a cruel bully. Daddy thinks she'll change him. Huh She wants nothing to do with him. But her father's insistent. Plus, Amanda has no idea what's happened to Joshua and Marie. Letters from them stopped coming some time ago.

And then there's that peculiar 'amusement' someone is putting on in downtown Glasgow, a weird phenomenon hyped by a creepy mustachioed tinker who doesn't have any pots or pans to sell.

Join Joshua, Marie, Amanda and Steven in their second Verduran adventure. Yeah. This one could also be fatal. Or worse.

Описание:

Lewis Elliot and his mother, Stella, are forced to flee their Baltimore home for the modest farm of their cousins in Gloucester County, Virginia. They arrive just as the feared Lord Cornwallis and the hated Colonel Banastre Carleton take up residence in Gloucester Point and across the York River in Yorktown. The war heats up as Cornwallis fortifies Yorktown and Carleton begins foraging raids in Gloucester County.

Then, while Lewis and his cousins, Lloyd and Tetty, are off to Gloucester Courthouse to try to sell enough tobacco to provide for the family, Carleton raids the farm and Stella receives a life-threatening injury.

Through battle, betrayal, unexpected alliances, and, apparently, the Hand of God, Lewis and his cousins and friends take a role in the events leading to Cornwallis's surrender on October 19, 1781, after the last major battle of the Revolutionary War.
