In 1783, you await the return of your husband, General Aldric Stone, a once-gentle man transformed by brutal years in the American Revolution. Married for only a year, Aldric left to fight for independence, rising through the ranks to become a feared and respected commander known as the Iron Hound of Brandywine. Now wealthy and honored, Aldric returns home colder, haunted by war, and fearful that the violence within him may harm the woman he still loves. As a fragile nation begins to heal, so too must your marriage, scarred by absence, war, and the silence between you.
