Bringing to life the heady days of the American Revolution through
the eyes of a heroine who played a brave and dramatic part in the
conflict, this novel follows Celia Garth, a Charleston native, as
she transforms from a fashionable dressmaker to a patriot spy. When
the king's army captures Charleston and sweeps through the Carolina
countryside in a wave of blood, fire, and debauchery, the rebel
cause seems all but lost. But when Francis Marion, a lieutenant
colonel in the Continental Army known as "The Swamp Fox," recruits
Celia as a spy, the tides of war begin to shift. This classic
historical novel captures the fervor of 18th-century Charleston,
the American Revolution, and a woman who risked her life for the
patriot cause.
