Trigger Warnings
For the past fifteen years, Emile, William, Nathanael and Sebastian have steadily rebuilt their lives along with everyone else in the Colonies after the War of Independence, each taking a different path in the new country they have chosen to call home. By all accounts, it has been a profitable decision for everyone, with very few of the problems they helplessly encountered after their difficult transition years ago.
Yet an unexpected accident with fatal consequences shakes the friends to their very core and changes the direction of their lives once again. So much so, that everything they had comfortably assumed as a given truth in their new world is now put into question as they grapple with decisions none of them had ever truly contemplated before—questions far deeper than anything they could possibly imagine.
To make matters worse, William’s medical knowledge and decisions are being challenged constantly by one of the newest nurses at the Pennsylvania Hospital, who has made it her personal mission to oversee his every action and offer her own direction in return, with or without his desire for her to do so.
Never in all of his life has William felt so out of step with the world around him or his place in it. Which only makes him wonder yet again whether he has made the right decision about coming to America after all, or if he should simply return to his old life in England where he possibly belongs. Or really, anywhere that is far less stressful and more familiar.
Meanwhile, there is talk of another war on the horizon, and Emile must use every skill in his actor’s toolbox to negotiate with his fellow representatives in Congress against taking action. With ships from England poised just off their shores, marauding every vessel that passes and a government who is ready to invade Canada at the least sign of provocation, Emile endeavors to quell the rising tide that threatens to overflow at any minute. A tide that seems to have spilled into his personal life, as well, as he faces demons he thought he had buried long ago.
And just like before, in all of their struggles, it seems that they are faced once again with yet another all-consuming question that will forever direct their futures. A question that most of them thought they knew the answer to but are quickly discovering that they do not.
