The Queen's Gambit
Book 3 of the Republic Rising Series
A Leader Captured. A Movement Divided. A Nation's Future at Stake.When Colonel Theodore Roosevelt falls into Crown hands, the Brotherhood of the Commonwealth faces its darkest hour. With their legendary leader imprisoned in the impenetrable Fort Determination, the fragile alliance of revolutionary cells threatens to shatter under the weight of old rivalries and new suspicions.Alex Turner never asked to lead a revolution. Now, as Acting President of the Continental Congress, the young telegraph engineer must unite fractious rebel factions while Lord Blackwood's surveillance network tightens its stranglehold on the colonies. Time is running out—Roosevelt's execution date approaches, and with it, the possible death of American independence.
Lady Charlotte Blackwood has made her choice. Abandoning her privileged life as the daughter of the Crown's most ruthless enforcer, she races against her father's Queen's Rangers through a deadly game of cat and mouse. Her intelligence could save Roosevelt—if she can reach the Brotherhood alive.
As Imperial airships darken the skies and the Crown's new Loyalty Verification Technology threatens to expose every hidden patriot, Alex must forge an impossible alliance between Northern revolutionaries, Southern freedom fighters, and Indigenous nations. But with a traitor in their ranks feeding information to Imperial Intelligence, every move could be their last.
From the mountain strongholds of Appalachia to the gleaming ballrooms of New London, from secret printing presses to desperate prison breaks, The Queen's Gambit chronicles the moment when a resistance movement must transform into something more—or perish in the attempt.
In this world where Washington failed and Jefferson's words are treason, the real revolution is just beginning.
