Ephraim Biggs killed a man. Now the Pennsylvania frontier is his only hope of staying ahead of the noose.
But the wilderness holds something worse than redcoats. Deep in an ancient mound, Ephraim finds a buried temple filled with weapons that fire without reloading and lights that burn without flame. Technology that shouldn’t exist. Technology that changes everything.
Captain Mortimer Reece has orders to drag Ephraim back alive. He is ambitious, relentless, and close behind. When word of the discovery reaches colonial authorities, Ephraim stops being a fugitive and becomes a prize.
Pontiac’s Rebellion is burning the frontier. Empires are circling. And the man holding the key to a power no one understands is a murderer with nowhere left to run.
