Summary: Set during the time of the American Revolutionary War, this is the story of a thirteen-year-old slave, Isabel, and her sister, Ruth who become the property of a malicious New York City couple, the Locktons. The Locktons have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. When Isabel meets Curzon, a slave with ties to the Patriots, he encourages her to spy on her owners, who know details of British plans for invasion. She is reluctant at first, but soon realises her loyalty is available to the side that can provide her with freedom.
