Return to History Mystery BooksIt's 1775 and the Revolution is brewing, but the war feels far from the remote North Carolina valley where Elspeth Monro lives quietly among other Scottish settlers. Then someone begins to threaten her family, trying to force them to join the rebels. When Elspeth's grandfather marches off to fight for the British, she's left alone to protect her grandmother - and to figure out who is putting her family in danger!
