The first soldier I killed was just a kid, and he haunted my dreams after that.

Without warning, the roar of the traffic and the stink of funeral lilies fade away. Just as Savannah Moore notices that the world around her has changed, a man captures her in his arms and presses a knife to her throat. Only after she escapes, with the help of Captain Jonathan Wythe, does she realize she has been inexplicably sucked into America's Revolutionary War.

Anything she does could alter the course of history and threaten the family she left behind.

But Savannah is not the only one keeping secrets. Darkness is drawn by the mission that places Jonathan at odds with the other Continentals. Watching from the woods surrounding the camp, it haunts his steps, taking sadistic glee in the bloodshed. Until it discovers Savannah.

Now she must choose-brave the woods and the redcoats closing in to search for a pathway back to the twenty-first century on her own or follow Jonathan on his time-sensitive mission.

Because remaining a passive witness may not be an option for long.
