Story
Arthur Leary thought that his part in the Revolution ended when his generals surrendered their army to the Americans after the Battle of Saratoga. Little did he know that political maneuvering at the highest levels of British and American government would leave him and his fellow soldiers marching across the landscape for years to come...unless he could find a way out. The rocky soil of a New England farm owned by fierce patriots to the American cause offered him hard labor and harder choices - choices that would shape his future and that of his country.

Story
The book is a fictional memoir based on actual events. The inspiration for the book came from hundreds of letters and other accounts written by Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur who were living in German-occupied Belgium and Italy during World War Two. Turner created a composite character, Sister Christina, who is described as an Ohio farm girl who joined the Sisters of Our Lady of Namur to teach English and agricultural skills to young Catholic girls. Assigned to Belgium in 1939, she worked Nazi-occupied Belgium for the duration of World War Two.

Publisher's Summary
1780, Maine: Though Dark Days May Come....
The darkness descending over coastal Maine leaves George no choice but to leave childhood behind for good. Despite living in the shadow of America's most crushing naval defeat in the ongoing Revolution, George’s life is pretty simple, if dull. A beautiful girl and a deadly conspiracy against the British occupation change all of that nearly overnight. In the blink of an eye, he’s in up to his neck. Tenderness and terror alike leave his head spinning. Will the arrival of an American scientific expedition bring salvation, or rip away everything that matters to him?
The Darkness is set in Maine as part of the Tales From a Revolution series, in which each stand-alone novel examines the American War of Independence as it unfolded in a different colony or future state. If you like exciting stories of nearly forgotten events involving people who didn't quite make it into the pages of history, you'll love The Darkness.
Buy The Darkness today, and experience the American Revolution up close and personal!
