A decoded letter revealing a family secret forces Hattie to confront a devious double agent. Betrayed by a fellow spy, she and Thom come into Confederate crosshairs. Could the past she’s running from be the key to saving them?
A sweeping story of courage and resilience inspired by the authentic adventures of historical women spies.
