Yorktown, 1781. The acrid scent of gunpowder clings to the air, a bitter fog over fields churned to mud by the boots of desperate men. In the heart of the fray, one soldier fights with a ferocity born of more than patriotism—it is the sharp, personal fear of a promise left unkept. His wife, Eliza, waits at home, her body cradling their unborn son. She is the quiet reason behind every parry, the hope that outlasts the cannon's roar. As a signal of surrender rises from the enemy lines, the immediate struggle ends. Freedom has been bought, but the true cost is yet to be tallied. Bleeding and bone-tired, he stumbles forward, his thoughts already racing down the roads that lead back to her.
