This letter would change everything.
After years of waiting for change to come to the American colonies, Emily Cartridge finally has an audience with the newly appointed General Carter, offering her services in his ring of intelligence. But as she becomes entangled in a web of lies that whisper betrayal to the Continental Army, her hopes of adventure quickly unravel. When the question of marriage places her future security at risk, and her best friend’s life is threatened on account of traitorship, she is determined to prove him innocent while facing the truth of what this war will cost her.
Meanwhile, William Shepard’s daring bravery and assassination of an enemy general rewarded him with the rank of colonel—and placed a bounty over his head. When he’s caught in the crossfires of treacherous accusations and death, the demons from William’s past revisit, and he must determine what is worth his strength and sacrifice before it costs him and his brothers-in-arms their lives.
As the winter months fast approach and enemy troops move closer, the only way to secure the safety of their encampment—and their survival—is to unmask the traitor for good.

1776, TRENTON, NEW JERSEY.
Ever since his brother’s death on the battlefield, Elliot has felt useless. With the Continental Army threatening to disband and his father’s grief consuming him, Elliot only has his drum to bring to the cause. Despite that, upon hearing of his impressive memorization skills, General Washington asks for more: cross the Delaware River, sneak into Trenton, and funnel information back to him. The goal? Secure a victory that will persuade the men to stay.
There are only two problems. Firstly, Trenton houses hundreds of well-equipped, ruthless Hessian soldiers who would love to end this war–no matter the cost. Secondly, hiding amongst them is a father-daughter spy duo whose identities are at risk. If Elliot gets caught, the Continental Army disperses, the revolution fails, and the spies hang.
Leaving his father behind and holding his brother’s memory close, Elliot realizes that to succeed, he must revive a passion he had buried: his music. As the threat of discovery inches closer, he’s left to wonder if his song is enough to save them.
1793, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Ever since her younger sister tried to elope with a poor Dutchman, Deborah Allard has faced immense pressure to forget her childhood dreams and marry an established gentleman. Under her mother’s constant criticisms, Deborah has been unable to study medicine or marry the man she loves. Frustrated by living under her mother’s demands, Deborah actively searches for a way to prove her capability.
Then yellow fever strikes.
Despite the growing fear within the city, Deborah sees this as an opportunity to prove to everyone, including herself, that she has what it takes to be the daughter, woman, and doctor that she has always wanted to be. But nothing could have prepared her for the horrors that a fever-ridden city would inflict upon her—and all she’s ever known.
“McKenna Rowell's The Shadow of Death reimagines Philadelphia's 1793 epidemic in spectacular detail... Elegantly written and completely immersive, this is a book well worth the time investment. Very highly recommended." - Jamie Michele, Readers' Favorite, FIVE STARS
What people are saying:
“So well written! An author to watch!… This is a book I believe will be remembered and loved for many, many years.” - Amazon Review of “The Shadow of Death: A Tragedy of Yellow Fever”
“Rowell also includes mystery and tension to make for a VERY interesting storyline that is paced WONDERFULLY. Not too slow at all, but definitely not too fast for you to understand everything going on. You will get goosebumps in certain parts, and you will tear up. You will enjoy this book if you like stories meant for the imagination, if you love to read because you're taken to faraway lands. This book will definitely do the job.” - Amazon Review of “Unmasked”
