About the Book

A Forlorn Hope

When Nathaniel Bacon steps onto the wild shores of Virginia in 1674, he enters a colony simmering with volatile fury. Under the rigid, autocratic thumb of Royal Governor Sir William Berkeley, the desperate frontier settlers face relentless ruin.  

Betrayed by their own corrupt rulers, the common folk are pushed to a breaking point. As blood runs cold along the wilderness edge, an explosive struggle for survival begins.  

Through a landscape scarred by conflict and betrayal, young Andrew Burke must navigate a treacherous new world. When the elite choose sordid profit over human life, the people look to a fierce new leader to ignite an armed rebellion.
