In this first volume of the epic Kent Family Chronicles, Phillipe reinvents himself as Philip Kent and finds himself swept up in the fiery winds of the American Revolution. From the Boston Tea Party to the first shots at Lexington and Concord, Philip’s personal struggle for identity mirrors a young nation’s violent birth. A masterful blend of historical detail and high-stakes adventure, The Bastard is the beginning of a legendary saga that redefined the American historical novel.
