What if, at the dawn of the American nation, Army officers plotted
successfully to overthrow Congress and enthrone George Washington
as King of the United States?
Time has passed, and the year is 1925. Ravaged by more than a
century of revolutions, the Union is falling apart. American King
Augustine grovels at the feet of the British Empire, begging aid
for his bankrupt kingdom. His war against the Republic of Louisiana
is a resounding disaster. Repeatedly smashed by the enemy, the
starved U.S. Army is fleeing the battlefield.
An evil cult on the loose in the nation's capital of
Philadelphia has thrown the city into a hysterical frenzy.
Unfortunately for the royals, the cult's main gateway to Hell is
hidden somewhere in the palace.
The kingdom is desperate for a warrior saint to deliver it from
evil. Americans look to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Johnny
Washington-Bourbon as the perfect savior. He flies combat missions
and heals with his touch. The people adore him. Sworn enemies put
aside their differences to join his crusade.
There's just one problem--twelve-year-old Johnny has far more
courage than common sense, and his harebrained schemes to save
America are disasters waiting to happen.
"Paper-weights," observed Patty, sucking an injured thumb, "were
evidently not made for driving in tacks. I wish I had a
hammer."
This remark called forth no response, and Patty peered down from
the top of the step-ladder at her roommate, who was sitting on the
floor dragging sofa-pillows and curtains from a dry-goods box.
"Priscilla," she begged, "you aren't doing anything useful. Go
down and ask Peters for a hammer."
Priscilla rose reluctantly. "I dare say fifty girls have already
been after a hammer."
"Oh, he has a private one in his back pocket. Borrow that. And,
Pris," -- Patty called after her over the transom, -- "just tell
him to send up a man to take that closet door off its hinges."

Icari to save her twin. But can a gentle healer learn to fight -
and fly? A thrilling YA fantasy adventure romance inspired by Greek
mythology From the acclaimed author of The Fandom duology, Anna Day
