 Alone in a strange country.
Her family kidnapped.
Elizabeth takes the adventure of her life.
"She took a deep, shaky breath and the tears overflowed. Her worst fears had come true. Her entire family was gone, and she had no idea if they were alive or dead. Worst of all she was alone in an alien world, consumed by a vast wilderness which cared not if she lived or died. She shook her head and tried to concentrate on a course of action. Her only hope was to ride on to Newcastle and enlist the help of local law enforcement, then return to the desolate scene the next day. Lightening flashed, thunder roared, and cold raindrops began to pummel the frightened refugee. Still, she rode on."
Canada, 1833 - Elizabeth Darmon anxiously awaits the return of her family. Instead, an empty carriage sends her on a harrowing odyssey through the mountains and harsh terrain of British North America. In his debut novel, Author Thomas Thorpe skillfully weaves murder and conspiracy into a rich texture of plots and counterplots: Canada in 1833 is rife with radicals seeking freedom from British rule. Suddenly, Elizabeth is caught in a web of kidnapping, conspiracy, and murder. She even discovers that someone is impersonating her!
The Patriote Proposition paints a portrait of Canada which few people have ever seen: nefarious factions pushing their own agendas under the cloak of liberty. Thomas Thorpe brings this little-known, tumultuous era to light in fascinating detail as Elizabeth desperately searches for her family as she fights the rein of terror that threatens to tear her country apart.
