Description

The first three novels in an American epic from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author, "the godfather of historical novelists" (Los Angeles Times).

This multigenerational saga follows the Kent family and their pursuit of a foothold and future in the expanding United States. From the family's initial journey traveling to America's shore to their voyage to the Western frontier, their fate is intertwined with the course of American history in these first three volumes of the series.The Bastard: Denied his birthright as the illegitimate son of the Duke of Kentland, Philippe Charboneau travels to the American colonies at the brink of the Revolution, inspired by brave new ideas. There he will choose his own name -- Philip Kent -- and finally decide his own fate.The Rebels: Dedicated to his adopted homeland, Philip Kent fights as a Continental soldier for the future of his new family. But far from the front lines, another battle rages that will sweep his wife, Anne, on her own perilous journey that may destroy all Philip has fought for.The Seekers: A veteran of wilderness battles, Abraham Kent -- son of Philip and Anne -- cannot abide the confines of Boston's civilization. Settling down with his young bride on the American frontier, Abraham finds the cost of his restless ambitions may be more than he can bear.

"The Kents' story remains memorable for many reasons, but it remains necessary because its protagonists understand that American ideals aren't simply what we profess to believe but how we choose to live and the price we are willing to pay for those choices." -- New York Times
