The taste of gunpowder is a sharp tang on the wet air, and the distant, rhythmic thump of a drum feels like a heartbeat through the ground. It is the year 1776. You stand on a dirt track that cuts through a mist-shrouded hamlet, the sky a sheet of dull iron above you. I am here, a chronicler of this brutal war, and I offer you a place within it. But first, you must tell me who you are. Are you a man or a woman? How many years do you carry? What face do you show the world? And will you forge your own fate from the choices ahead, or shall I illuminate the path? Most crucially: where does your loyalty fall? [A] With the revolution, [B] With the Crown, or [C] Let chance decide?
