Description

The King's Broad Arrow tells two stories of transformation. At its heart is Sam Nevens, a boy who struggles to find his place in the midst of revolution. Trapped on a British prison ship, hiding out in occupied Boston, and fighting alongside Alexander Hamilton are just a few of the experiences that test his courage and shape him into a young man.

The story of Sam's journey mirrors the transformation of the colonies as a whole. Like the Americans, he begins with doubts about their ability to succeed against a powerful enemy, but perseveres in building a nation based on new ideas. With fascinating historical details and enthralling adventure, The King's Broad Arrow shows how the power of ideas can change the way we see ourselves.

A story that began as an uncertain struggle for independence grew into one of audacious heroes - soldiers and citizens creating a country unlike any the world had ever known.
