The Song of the Brave

Ever since his brother’s death on the battlefield, Elliot has felt useless. With the Continental Army threatening to disband and his father’s grief consuming him, Elliot only has his drum to bring to the cause. Despite that, upon hearing of his impressive memorization skills, General Washington asks for more: cross the Delaware River, sneak into Trenton, and funnel information back to him. The goal? Secure a victory that will persuade the men to stay. 

There are only two problems. Firstly, Trenton houses hundreds of well-equipped, ruthless Hessian soldiers who would love to end this war–no matter the cost. Secondly, hiding amongst them is a father-daughter spy duo whose identities are at risk. If Elliot gets caught, the Continental Army disperses, the revolution fails, and the spies hang. 

Leaving his father behind and holding his brother’s memory close, Elliot realizes that to succeed, he must revive a passion he had buried: his music. As the threat of discovery inches closer, he’s left to wonder if his song is enough to save them.
