Carrying Independence

What if one man carried the fate of American independence in his hands?

In this gripping Revolutionary War fiction, Nathaniel Marten becomes the unlikely courier tasked with gathering the final signatures for the Declaration of Independence. Based on the true historical fact that not all delegates signed on August 2nd, Carrying Independence imagines the dangerous mission to complete America's founding document.

When Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson entrust Nathaniel with the only signed copy of the Declaration, he must traverse hostile colonial territories where British spies and Loyalist sympathizers hunt anyone connected to the rebellion. From the treacherous roads of Pennsylvania to the plantation estates of Virginia, Nathaniel journeys through enemy lines to reach the missing delegates-knowing that capture means death, and failure means the colonies remain forever divided.

This American Revolution novel brings to life the forgotten heroes who risked everything for independence. As Nathaniel faces impossible choices between love, family, and country, readers discover the human cost of creating the founding documents that shaped our nation.

• Revolutionary War historical fiction with authentic period detail
