Legends of Liberty
Volume 2
After Ben Franklin’s famous kite experiment goes terribly wrong—and yields an unanticipated positive result—he must leave his wife behind to try and avert growing conflict between Great Britain and its largest colony. Thomas Jefferson settles down to a comfortable life at Monticello with Martha, until a vision from his nightmares rouses him to action. King George, beset by a mental illness with supernatural origins, navigates the halls of power with an infernal council of generals. While keeping up a pen-pal relationship with Abigail, John Adams steers an indecisive delegation at Philadelphia to elect a leader in the needed hour. Joseph Warren inspires a rag-tag crew of minutemen to defend Bunker Hill against a bloody onslaught. Join the Muse for the second installment in this grand narrative about the legendary heroes who built the American Republic, retold here in its entirety for the first time in rhyming verse.
