The Rebel Heir: A Republic Rising Novel

In an America that never won its independence, one man's dangerous discovery will ignite a revolution 150 years in the making.

FROM DARKNESS, A SPARK OF REBELLION

New London, 1904. Alexander Turner, a skilled colonial technician with a Class C license, keeps his head down and follows Imperial regulations. But when a routine repair job at the government telegraph office leads him to discover a secret surveillance system, Alex finds himself under the watchful eye of Inspector Harrington and the Imperial Colonial Security Office.

As Alex begins to investigate his grandfather's hidden legacy, he uncovers a dangerous truth: for generations, a secret organization called the Brotherhood of the Commonwealth has preserved the true history of America—a history the British Empire has systematically erased. Their mission: to keep alive the dream of liberty until the time is right to reclaim it.

Meanwhile, Lady Charlotte Delancey, daughter of the feared Lord Blackwood, maintains a carefully crafted facade of aristocratic frivolity while secretly gathering intelligence against her father's oppressive regime. When her path crosses with Alex's, two worlds collide in a dangerous game of deception and resistance.

With the charismatic Colonel Theodore Roosevelt guiding their cause and Imperial forces closing in, Alex and Charlotte must navigate a world of mechanical marvels, coded messages, and deadly political intrigue. As Empire Day celebrations approach and the net tightens around the Brotherhood, they face an impossible choice: preserve their secret history or use it to spark a revolution that could finally fulfill the promise of American independence.

In this richly imagined alternate history where the American Revolution failed at Yorktown, THE REBEL HEIR combines steampunk technology with revolutionary fervor in a tale of courage, deception, and the unquenchable human desire for freedom.

Perfect for fans of S.M. Stirling's "The Peshawar Lancers," Robert Conroy's "1862," and Naomi Novik's "Temeraire" series. If you enjoyed the alternate history of "The Man in the High Castle" combined with the steampunk elements of "The Difference Engine," you'll love this revolutionary new series.
