The Purchase
POWER | POLITICS | PROVIDENCE
Walk the hallowed halls of Jefferson’s Federal City to witness Captain Meriwether Lewis’s desperate quest for exploration amidst espionage, forbidden romance and deadly politics. Accepting “an easier” position as the President’s personal secretary, Lewis soon finds himself pitted against one of America’s most illusive spies hiding in plain sight–as commander of the U.S. Army. Across the Atlantic, dismissible diplomat Robert Livingston must triumph in Napoleon’s Parisian empire using only his New York wits. In New Orleans, Will Clark becomes entangled in Spain’s frontier power flex and must choose between honor and his family’s dynasty. Meanwhile in the Caribbean, another adopted son fights for survival amidst a brutal revolution that becomes the linchpin of American destiny. In a world where power corrupts and fate intervenes, one story will change everything.
