The Frontier Divided: A Revolutionary War Novel - Book One of the Eliza Hart Chronicles. In 1756, three-year-old Eliza Hart is kidnapped in a Cherokee raid near the tiny crossroads that will become Charlotte, North Carolina. Presumed dead by her parents, she is adopted into the Wolf Clan and raised as Tsula-"Fox," learning the stories, skills, and loyalties of her new people.

As the colonies slide into rebellion, Tsula's command of Cherokee and English pulls her into the heart of the Revolutionary War. She rides as a scout and interpreter for British and Loyalist forces in the Carolina backcountry, guiding columns through forests and over rivers she knows better than any map. To Patriot fighters, rumors spread of a "white Indian rider" who appears before ambushes and vanishes like smoke. In Charlotte-a raw, strategic town battered by defeats like Camden and Waxhaws-Captain Samuel Hart, now a wounded veteran and jailer, wrestles with duty, grief, and the memory of a daughter he could not save. As war and rumor tighten around the town, one woman riding between nations will force everyone to reckon with what freedom and belonging truly cost.
